\käm-,pōst\: a highly condensed nutrient fertilizer that results from a mixture of organic (meaning derived of living matter) items after undergoing a natural process of decay in certain conditions. Versus going into a landfill where devoid of the essential oxygen for it to break down thus largely contributes to increasing methane and global warming (yes, there are 25 year old heads of lettuce, hotdogs and servings of seemingly fresh guacamole etc lying undecomposed in our landfills).

Compost’s building blocks are all the pieces and parts of food you don’t ingest like banana and citrus peels, apple cores and seeds, egg shells, coffee grounds, plus other stuff (see lists to follow a couple sections over or down depending on which piece of technology you are on; or contact us to ask).

“Why Not?” is more like it 😀

Composting is an easy responsibility that enables the necessary vital nutrition that we and our family members and our restaurant patrons and our entire environment need to go back into the soil and therefore once again into our food and back into each and every one of us.

Our health depends on it. As does the Earth’s.

Beyond nourishing our soils and all of our cells, composting our uneaten and organic (again meaning derived of living matter) throwaways benefits our day to day in myriad ways; here are just a handful:

• Reduces landfill waste by upwards of 30% (or more depending on your purchasing/using/throw-away habits)
• Reduces/eliminates the amount of fossil fuels used to get it from one place to way out “there” to the landfill (and saves all the involved misappropriated human labor power and funding instead for actual proper tasks)
• Reduces/eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides
• Captures and destroys 99.6% of industrial volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in contaminated air
• Reduces water use
• Increases nutrient density and quality and promotes higher yield of agriculture

Now that you are in the know (♥) but as so often without the land, time or wish to compost on your own soil…

Solution:
⇒ Peels 2 Meals

That is what we do for you.

It’s a simple
1 ⇒ 2 ⇒ 3

You [1]
+
[2] Bin to Toss It In
and
[3] Away It Goes

For those that do have the land, time and desire, we consult and install.

For those that only have the land, we also can come to tend it for you. Just like a pool company does, but we are of course doing your compost.

Options, options, options so no one goes un-composting 😀

What to Compost includes uneaten food and plant pieces and parts called “Greens” which provide more of the necessary nitrogen and “Browns” which provide more of the necessary carbon for the compost processs to occur.

• Greens Include:

• Fruit and Veggie Peels, Cores, Scraps (Leftovers) and Spoils
• Used Coffee Grounds and Filters
• Tea Leaves and Tea Bags
• Egg Shells
• Nutshells
• Dirt and Dust i.e. from Dustpan and Vacuum, Laundry Lint and Pet Hair
• Herbivore Bedding (i.e. for Rabbits)
• Wondering about anything else? Please ask.

• Browns Include:

• Shredded Cardboard i.e. Pizza Boxes, Inner Roll of Toilet Paper and Paper Towels, Paper Based Egg Cartons, Paper Plates and Cups so long as there isn’t that synthetic coating…
• Shredded Newspaper and Junk Mail (minus the plastic windows), Used Paper Towels and Napkins
• Dried or Expired Flowers and Plant Trimmings
• Natural Fiber (shredded) such as Wool and Cotton, even that cotton packing that come in supplement bottles
• Wood Shavings, Sawdust, Chips or Ash
• Wondering about anything else? Please ask.
