How to Recycle Agricultural Waste
Crop residues, such as corn stalks, wheat straw, and vegetable trimmings.
Quick answer
Yes, crop residue, straw, and other plant-based farm waste is compostable and often reused as mulch, animal bedding, or biomass feedstock. Compost or land-apply it, or route larger volumes to a commercial composter or biomass facility rather than burning or landfilling it.
