Composting is a natural process by which organic materials decompose. Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic material such as leaves, grass clippings, twigs, fruits, and vegetables into a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling soil conditioner. By concentrating the activity in one place and balancing food, air, and water, compost happens faster. Residential Organics Does EMADCO offer Residential Organic (Yard/Food) Waste Collection?

The State of California set a goal to reduce 75% of organic waste (food scraps and yard waste) sent to landfills by 2025. This goal helps reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by food and plant waste rotting in landfills. Instead, the organic waste will be transformed into compost. What happens to my food and yard waste after they are collected? Organic waste is hauled to Kerman and processed into nutrient-rich compost that will be reused in home gardens, parks, and agriculture. Can I bag my organics before putting them in the bin? Please do not place any type of bag (paper, plastic, or biodegradable) in the green organics bin. How should I collect food scraps in my kitchen? Find a container (preferably with a lid) to keep on your kitchen countertop or near your sink to collect food scraps. Collect all food scraps in the container and empty it as needed into your green organics cart. Do not use any type of bag or plastic Add yard waste, if any, and place the cart at the curb every week. What types of organic wastes are accepted in my green organics bin? Food scraps and yard waste, including: Fruits & vegetables Bread, pasta, & other grains Dairy products Eggshells Cooked meats & bones Shellfish All prepared foods Grass clippings Weeds Flowers Leaves and branches Coffee grounds & paper coffee filters Paper tea bags (no staples)
