Compost Happens!
Nature recycles dead organic material by breaking it down, with the help of microorganisms and invertebrate decomposers, into a soil enriching amendment called compost. Compost is made whether or not we are involved in the process, but there are things we can do to ensure it happens rapidly and without odors.
For more information, check out any of our leaflets listed below or contact the Master Composter/Recycler Office at 360-882-4567. Or, you can call the Solid Waste office at 360-397-6118, ext 4352 for a copy of the Home Composting Guide.
