Bainbridge Island
Happy Birthday
It’s International Compost Awareness Week and the Aveterra team would like to celebrate the work of the United States Compost Council and the benefits of bringing a permitted compost facility to your community.
- Compost brings life back to the soil, brings needed nutrients to the plants we grow and the food we eat.
- Compost reduces soil runoff and erosion reducing the amount of unwanted residue in our water sources
- Composting reduces landfill use
- Compost can improve disease and pest resistance in cultivated crops, lessening the use of harmful fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides that leach into our waterways and adsorb into our foods
- Compost increases soil moisture retention, infiltration and drainage supporting the reclamation of damaged sites
- Compost can aid in carbon sequestration in our soils keeping it from our atmosphere
Congratulations on 25 years of work to bring modern, state of the art composting to more and more communities. Let’s make Bainbridge Island the next community to enjoy the benefits of certified organic compost!
