Godfrey residents can trash their food scraps or choose to compost them. Composting food scraps is a great way to save landfill space and reduce methane gas emissions. Adding compost to soils may also help sandy or gravelly soils retain moisture and improve drainage.  Madison County offers a Compost Guide to residents for reference in how to compost.
