Skill Development in Garbage/Waste Management 

“We believe in recycling our food scrap back in to soil”:

Composting is a process that takes residual organic materials- i.e. food scrap, leftovers, dry leaves and turn them into a nutrient-rich product called “COMPOST” .We support the local economy and local farmers and growers by composting our food waste instead of dumping it in landfill or down the drain.
