Organic Waste Recycling Produces Better Compost

There is no longer any doubt that landfills are rapidly filling and nearing capacity and that the price of properly disposing of garbage and sewage is on the rise. In some areas, some relief has been brought about by organic waste recycling efforts.

In addition, this kind of recycling of organic material can also help reduce the dangers of ground water contamination and can help organic farmers prepare soil that is healthier for growing.

Instead of spending huge sums of money to handle, treat, transport and store such waste, many people say this money could be better used to set up ways to improve organic waste recycling. This has the potential to transform a major expense for most municipalities into a new source of income while also helping to cleanup the environment.

After an organic waste recycling program is put into place, the sewage and the animal waste is diverted into the system to produce compostable material that is safe to be used in organic farming and gardening operations.

Estimates state that this method of using waste could supply as much as fifteen percent of the needed nutrients for the treatment of soil that is currently provided through other fertilization sources.
