Putting Waste in it's Place

Chapter 2: The Journey of waste begins at home. Before waste ever enters Roseridge Waste Commission facilities you need to decide what to do with it. If something is in good shape it can be reused or donated. Stuff that we can't reuse can be recycled, composted or sent to landfill.

Composting is the process where organic matter such as leaves and food scraps are broken down by organisms like bacteria fungi or mushrooms worms and insects.
