Information:

Usually we dump leftover food in with the rest of our garbage and it goes off to the landfills. Landfills cause soil, air and water pollution, affect local wildlife and their habitats, and release harmful methane gases into the atmosphere. Unlike other kinds of garbage, organic materials (including vegetables, fruits and grains) are not doomed to such a wasteful fate—they can be composted and reused in the soil to fertilize other plants. Of course eliminating unnecessary food waste is the best option, but for any food that is not eaten, composting is the best way to use this “waste.”
