Compost enriches and builds healthy soil by adding nutrients and improving soil structure, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Healthy soil conserves water by retaining moisture and reducing soil compaction and runoff, ultimately promoting healthier plant growth and higher crop yields.

Complimentary compost giveaway opportunities are also available courtesy of Orange County Waste & Recycling by scheduling an online appointment with Valencia Greenery in Brea at https://www.oclandfills.com/compost. OC Waste & Recycling can be contacted at 714-834-4000 for further inquiries.
