Grounds For A Peel Composting Inc.

"I have always been an environmentalist at heart since I was a teenager, but I went on to do other types of jobs. I have been composting for at home for over ten years but I knew I wanted to do more for the community. Two years ago I decided to pursue my passion and start my company called Grounds For A Peel Composting. I knew there is so much food waste going to the landfill so I wanted and continue to want Long Island to divert its garbage from landfills. It is extremely important for us who live in an island to develop a better mouse trap for our garbage. My company is here to help residents and businesses to do the right thing with their scraps."
