What Happens to Collected Organics?
Organics are taken to commercial facilities to make compost, or to make renewable energy by capturing the methane gas released in decomposition

What is Compost?• When we break down organic, or once living
material, faster than it would in nature.• Creates a chocolate colored dirt that gives
plants nutrients • “Decomposers” in the soil like micro-organisms,
organisms, and worms break down organics. They are nature’s recyclers.
