Composting

THE PROBLEM: While people understand the need to reuse things that humans make (aka recycling), now we need to engrain the need to reuse things that nature makes (aka composting). When compostables go to a landfill, it produces the climate-warming gas called methane, produces a toxic sludge that can potentially get into our waterways, and shorten the lifespan of our landfills.

THE SOLUTION: As demonstrated wonderfully in the Kiss The Ground film on Netflix, we now know that growing things without the use of tilling or chemicals is the best thing we can do to reverse climate change. Our finished compost replaces chemicals, and when you participate in composting, you reduce your carbon footprint and link together the circular food system of soil to plants, plants to consumption, and food waste back to the soil.

INSIDER TIP: There’s a difference between what you can compost at home in your backyard, and what can be composted with us. Learn about at-home composting.

BONUS MONEY SAVING TIP: Donate your food for free instead of pay us to compost it. Saving Grace Food Rescue partners with restaurants and larger food producers. They’ll pick it up and drop it off the same day to local shelters. Plus laws protect ya from being sued over spoiled food.
