• Diversion of organics from landfills: With municipalities working under mandates to reduce the waste entering landfills by as much as 70%, composting is proving to be a practical, environmentally friendly, and cost effective way to meet those goals.
  
• Reduced cost of waste collection and disposal: By composting food wastes on-site, institutions such as universities, schools, hospitals, miltary bases, correctional institutions, and others can reduce their waste stream by up to 50%. Compost can be sold for even more reduction in waste disposal expenditures.
  
• Reduced greenhouse gas production at landfills/feedlots: Composting organic waste decreases the amount of methane gas generated in landfills/open waste sites.

• Composting reduces pathogenic organisms, harmful insects, and weed seeds being released into the environment: The relatively high temperature at which compost is "cooked" kills harmful bacteria such as E-coli and salmonella, weed seeds, and insects.
  
• Decreases the need for commercial fertilizers: By using compost, you reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer used, reducing the reliance on petroleum based fertilizers.
  
• Compost enriches the soil: Compost adds nutrients, helps maintain the correct soil Ph, increases water retention, reduces water runoff, and increases the nutrients actually available to the plants.
