15 Backyard Composters Available at Geneva Clerk’s Office

There are 15 backyard 80-gallon composters available at the Geneva Clerk’s Office on a first-come, first-served basis. These composters provide an opportunity for residents to recycle organic materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Organics recycling collects food scraps and yard waste and processes them into compost. Compost adds nutrients and carbon back to soil, which helps improve soil and water quality and supports plant growth. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that food waste makes up the largest portion of everyday trash that ends up in landfills.

In addition to benefiting the environment, composting can help households save money if they pay by the bag and reduce the amount of waste. Composting also supports local jobs and economies by keeping organic materials out of landfills and improving soil health in local communities.

Residents can manage yard waste more sustainably through composting, which also helps reduce nutrient and sediment runoff, filters stormwater, and conserves water by helping soils retain moisture.
