4) It Benefits the Environment

According to the EPA, the act of composting:

Enriches soil, helping retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests.
Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
Encourages the production of beneficial bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter to create humus, a rich nutrient-filled material.
Reduces methane emissions from landfills and lowers your carbon footprint.

5) It is Now Required

Beginning July 2020, all Vermont residents are now required to compost food scraps (Act 148). Without any funding for new infrastructure, the cost to compost is falls directly on our communities.

Although Act 148 passed without funding, according to the ANR "$20 million is needed over the next 9 years to support organics processing infrastructure, and another $17 million is needed for trucks and carts to collect both recyclables and organics."
