Why It Matters 

Reducing waste is one of the most effective ways businesses can lower their environmental impact, save money on disposal costs, and support Louisville’s broader waste diversion goals. Among the most impactful strategies for commercial waste reduction is diverting organic materials from the landfill through composting.
