| 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.
