When food waste is composted instead of thrown away, it transforms into a powerful soil conditioner that benefits watersheds in major ways: Reduces runoff: Compost-enriched soil acts like a sponge, holding rainwater and filtering out pollutants before they reach rivers and streams. Builds healthier landscapes: Compost restores soil health, which supports stronger plants and ecosystems that naturally protect water quality. Reduces chemical pollution: By naturally enriching your soil, compost decreases the need for synthetic fertilizers, which often wash into waterways, causing harmful algae blooms and disrupting ecosystems.
