My CSA recycles egg cartons. I find I am holding onto my veggie bags for reuse. I know there is more I could be doing, but I figure that as long as I keep taking steps forward, I'm going in the right direction.
Separately, no matter how sleep deprived I was yesterday, taking a full Zolpedem (generic Ambien) was not a good idea. I am FULL of the gronk today. I usually only take a half.
We sort out recycling but not compost.
Actually, we did sort out the compost once upon a time, but last year someone stole our building's compost bin! Why would anyone even do that? Totally annoying (and now that the city is semi-officially requiring everyone to compost, there's a huge backlog of requests for new composting bins and I don't even know how many thousands of places we are down on the waiting list).
Once you compost, what do you do with the compost?
I spread it in my vegetable garden, of course! It's basically dirt.
lisah! Sorry about your crappy day and stress... and seeing your name reminded me that I still have your house key. I'm not completely sure which one it is on the ol' keychain, though. So, one of these days, we should get together so I can return it. After you tell me which one it is. I think I know, but...
ha! thanks, Jen. I'd love to get together sometime soon! fo' real.
I spread it in my vegetable garden, of course!
And Connie's question + flea's answer exactly highlight why I'm getting more dissatisfied with not having food waste/compost as part of the city solid waste services the more I think about it -- as it stands, the city has some decent info on composting and they occasionally have a sale on compost bins, but there's absolutely no motivation to compost for non-gardeners. And even though this is kind of a more-locavore-than-thou area, we have a *hell* of a lot more non-gardeners than gardeners...
We always wind up with waaaaaaaaaay more compost than we can use, so we mostly give it away to people with real (grass) yards. (As I mentioned before, in exchange for their clippings and dried leaves. It's a good system.)
I was wondering what to do with compost if you don't garden, have much of a yard.
Though I do know you can't dispose of bodies in the compost pile. Or not efficiently.
