Veteran Compost is about two things:

1. Employing veterans and their family members

2. Turning food scraps into high-quality organic compost

Our goal is to fuel our growth with people and material that others pass over.

Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans have an unemployment rate that exceeds the national average. That means that a combat vet has a harder time getting a job than the average person.

Two thirds of the material that gets thrown away in the United States every year is compostable.

So, there's plenty of people and material to fuel our growth.
