Composting
Simply put, composting is nature’s way of recycling. When organic materials have decomposed to the point that plants can use their nutrients the material is called compost – a dark, crumbling, earthy smelling material made up of decayed leaves, grass, wood trimmings and food scraps.
Compost is a gardener’s best friend!
In nature, leaves and limbs pile up and rot over time. Modern composting methods can accomplish the same thing in a faster and more convenient manner.
What is compost?
Composting is becoming increasingly popular in the White River District, with many residents participating in community and home composting programs. In Searcy, White County, the city has established a large-scale composting operation that caters to its residents, making it easier for everyone to contribute to sustainable waste management practices. This initiative not only helps reduce landfill waste but also provides valuable compost to enrich local gardens and landscapes. Join the movement towards a greener future by being involved in composting today!
Smaller, community-level composting programs offer a practical solution for residents looking to dispose of yard waste. These initiatives not only provide a space for composting but also serve as a valuable resource for free or low-cost mulch and compost, perfect for enhancing gardens and landscaping. For more information on composting options available in your community, reach out to your local city hall or county judge's office.
