Around one third of Michigan’s waste is organic material, with almost 15% being made up of food waste. In the right conditions, this organic material could be broken down into compost. However, when organic waste - like food scraps - end up in a landfill they break down anaerobically (without oxygen) and produce methane gas, a greenhouse gas more harmful than CO2. When you simply separate your compostable material from your trash, not only are you diverting it from landfills but you are also helping to enrich soils and improve the overall health of our planet!

Composting transforms organic waste into a soil-like material that can provide enrichment for crops, gardens, lawns and houseplants. Composting your yard, garden and food wastes diverts these materials away from landfills and at Tuthill Farms and Composting, we convert this into compost. Not only does this provide an incredible product to enhance your garden or yard, but contributes to overall soil health and has immense positive effects on our environment!
