Waste disposal and Recycling are important actions for sustainability because they have far reaching effects. Food waste in landfills creates methane gas, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. Food waste taken to a compost facility not only reduces the global warming potential but conserves space in landfills and creates healthy soil. Proper waste disposal is an everyday activity that has a substantial impact on our environment. For further details, explore our Recycling Services Guide and discover our new Indio organics program.
