How to Compost

Compost Happens!


Composting is a way to turn your yard and kitchen wastes into part of nature's natural cycle of decomposition. Composting is a great way to reduce our contribution to landfills and greenhouse gasses while producing a wonderful soil amendment for yards and gardens.

For more information, check out any of our leaflets listed below or contact the Master Composter/Recycler Office at mcr@columbiasprings.org or by phone at 360-882-0936 ext. 224.
