Collecting leaf litter, leaving grass clippings in place and using compost bins, heaps, piles and pits and worm bins are examples of ways that people compost. People compost when they allow recyclable materials to break down through the work of air, heat, micro-organisms and moisture. Recyclable materials involve food scraps and yard debris that decompose into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter to be used as soil amendment, fertilizer or mulch.
