Hassle-free composting
Composting is messy! Municipal composting isn’t available in small towns, and backyard setups require a lot of work, can create unpleasant odours, and attract problematic wildlife. High-tech solutions are expensive and inefficient.
Understandably, too many people let their composting ambitions go and kitchen scraps end up in landfills.
