Reducing Greenhouse Gases
Through Composting Organics
Landfills are a significant source of manmade 
methane emissions in California. Methane is 
created when organic materials, whether disposed 
of or used as cover materials, decompose 
anaerobically in landfills. Therefore, one way to 
dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 
California would be to phase out compostable 
organic materials such as yard trimmings and food 
scraps from landfill disposal or use. In 
addition, organic materials have numerous 
benefits when returned to the soil, from 
replenishing the soil, retaining water, helping 
to prevent soil erosion, and treating stormwater, 
among others. Join CRRA and industry experts as 
we discuss the purpose and design of such a 
policy and explore alternatives to organics disposal.
