Cultivating Compost Basics at Albany Farmers’ Market


Republic Services sponsors four composting workshops in the Albany/Corvallis, Oregon area each year. Residents are encouraged to bring a bucket and take home free compost from Republic Services. And best of all, Kenny L., Municipal Administrator, is on hand to talk to our customers about how to compost and answer questions.

 

Remember that reducing food waste at home is one of the easiest and most sustainable actions we can take. Visit epa.gov/recycle/reducing-wasted-food-home for tips on how you can reduce food waste.


Did You Know?

In 2022, Republic recycled 1 million tons of food and yard waste. Diverting this organic material from a landfill provides a climate benefit equivalent to removing the annual emissions of 16,000 passenger vehicles.

Organics recycling directly supports Republic’s sustainability goal to increase recovery and circularity of key materials from the waste stream by 40% by 2030.
