Even if the smell is a big issue we still need composting, because there are so many contributing factors because of this. Our land fills cant stand much more trash they have to expand them, and that's even a bigger problem than composting. Recycling is getting harder that's is the reason they built recycle bins, but even that isn't enough. Composting is a very needed in our schools, because they produce more trash more than any single supermarket, and that's the biggest

All students were just walking by it, and some of them even threw their empty bottles there.…

This will also save time and money spent on trying to clean the litter up.…
