Compost Bins

Composting is a great way to reduce food waste. A recent Department of Public Works (DPW) study showed that households using backyard compost bins divert 25% of their food waste from the trash! To make great compost, add yard waste, such as leaves, garden debris, and grass clippings, in addition to all of your fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and filters, and other organic materials from your home. You will get a rich compost to make your soil healthier and help the City of Milwaukee reach its goal of 40% landfill diversion. Learn more about composting at home, through drop offs, and composting collection service providers.

• If you missed this year's compost bin sale, you can find compost bins for sale at your neighborhood retailers and used models through neighborhood swap websites.
