| I put a small container near the recycling action: in the kitchen for plastics & cans, in the office for paper & batteries. When the container is full I put it into a large bag in the garage. When the bag is full we are off to the Recycle Plus bins! Not a huge investment of time. |
It takes about a week for our family of 5 to fill
this under-the-sink compost pail. We line it
with a shopping bag so there isn't a mess to
clean off the pail each time it's emptied.

My daughter's job is to empty the kitchen composter into
this black back-yard composter. We do not turn it, or add
any chemicals - ever. In the fall, when the garden is out, the
whole contents of the composter is spread out on the
garden. In the spring it's ready to be rotatilled into the soil.
