International Compost Awareness Week

Compost, sometimes called ‘black gold’, consists of decomposed organic matter that enhances the soil with nutrients and microbes. International Compost Awareness Week, held annually during the first week of May, is marked to remind people, businesses, municipalities and organisations about the importance of organics recycling and compost use.

EnviroServ partners with several composting facilities around the country and assists customers with composting their waste, keeping it from landfill.

According to the United Nations, the disposal of food loss and waste in landfills leads to greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. There is an urgent need for all individuals and companies to accelerate their actions to reduce food waste, and new solutions for different waste streams are being developed each year.
