How Do I Compost?

There are a few important things to remember when you are composting! It is essential that the waste going into the New Soil container is bagged in compostable trash bags. It is also important to have a balance between carbons and nitrogens in your container. Cardboard, toilet paper rolls, paper towels, etc. are a great source of carbon, which provides your compost with the nutrients and energy to turn the waste into useable compost.

After bagging your waste in compostable bags, simply place them in your New-Soil container, and we will take care of the rest! You can rest easy knowing that you and your business are doing your part to invest in the future of our planet.
