RIDGEFIELD, CT – In an effort to improve environmental sustainability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower the amount of organics sent to incinerators and landfills, benefit soil and address how households and businesses dispose food leftovers, Nick and Erica Skeadas are making composting mainstream by expanding their food scrap recycling service. Their efforts support the community and the environment by increasing recycling in Fairfield County and providing everyone an opportunity to compost.
INCREASING RECYCLING
Curbside Compost brings simplicity and convenience to composting in Fairfield County. Curbside Compost also provides waste minimization services at events by maximizing recycling and composting and minimizing waste sent to incinerators. Individual households are on a weekly pick-up schedule, which costs $24 per month, while larger generators and events may require a more customized solution. Curbside Compost provides clean containers, which are replaced after each pick-up. Curbside Compost picks up meat, fish, bones, eggshells, coffee grounds, vegetables, table scraps and leftovers from food preparation. A complete list is available on CurbCompost.org.
The natural process of decomposition of food into compost takes four months. Curbside Compost closes the loop by delivering finished compost back to the home or business as requested by customers. Residents then mix the compost into soil to nourish their plants and gardens. Compost is nutrient rich, a natural fertilizer and pesticide and can be used to reduce erosion.
