Over the past generation, people in many parts of the United States have become accustomed to dividing their household waste products into different categories for recycling. [Q1] Regardless, paper may go in one container, glass and aluminum in another, regular garbage in a third. Recently, some U S cities have added a new category: compost, organic matter such as food scraps and yard debris. Like paper or glass recycling, composting demands a certain amount of effort from the public in order to be successful. But the inconveniences of composting are far outweighed by its benefits. Most people think of banana peels, eggshells, and dead leaves as “waste,” but compost is actually a valuable resource with multiple practical uses. When utilized as a garden fertilizer, compost provides nutrients to soil and improves plant growth while deterring or killing pests and preventing some plant diseases. It also enhances soil texture, encouraging healthy roots and minimizing or [Q2] annihilating the need for chemical fertilizers. Better than soil at holding moisture, compost minimizes water waste and storm runoff, [Q3] it increases savings on watering costs, and helps reduce erosion on embankments near bodies of water. In large quantities, which one would expect to see when it is collected for an entire municipality), compost can be converted into a natural gas that can be used as fuel for transportation or heating and cooling systems. In spite of all compost’s potential uses, however, most of this so‑called waste is wasted. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (E P A), over 13 million tons of metal ended up in U S landfills in 2009, along with over 13 million tons of yard debris. Remarkably,less glass was discarded in landfills in that year than any other substance, including plastics or paper.
