Living in this beautiful, idyllic community of Glencoe it’s hard to imagine that the average American throws out nearly 1,800 pounds of trash per year! According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “food scraps and yard waste together currently make up about 30% of what we throw away. Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.”
