for Kids

Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority

Thank you for taking the time to learn about engaging children in the

composting process.

Compost provides nutrients back into the soil and reduces the amount of waste

that must be sent to landfills.

Consider starting a backyard composting program at home to reduce our impact

on the environment.
