Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Food scraps and yard waste currently make up 20 to 30 percent of what we throw away, and should be composted instead. This program applies only to households that rent a yard-waste cart from Republic Services.Ĭompost is organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow. The guidelines discussed on the related pages apply to single-family residences of incorporated Downers Grove.
