'''Composting''' is means of [[organic]] waste disposal. Typically, organic and [[biodegradable]] materials such as [[vegetable]] scraps, manure, [[egg]] shells, and [[coffee]] grounds. Some forms of composting use [[heat]] to facilitate the decomposition process. [[Worm]]s can also be used for this purpose.

Composting using heat is known as "active" composting. "Passive" composting is the opposite, in which there is little [[human]] intervention in the process. Passive composting is the type used by most individual [[people]].

Composting can be used as an alternative to [[landfill]]s, and can also be a corollary to recycling.
