I love composting and it is so easy to do, unless you live in an apartment and do not have access to a yard. In apartments it's easier to make a worm bin, which is HUGE fun, BTW.
I love that all this stuff I throw in a pile, that would normally be waste for a landfill, becomes very high grade garden soil, chock full of nutrients, come spring.
One of my neighbors also composts his food wastes, which I was thrilled to see. He was one of the people who gave me a big bag of beer cans. He also keeps chickens for eggs, which I'd be thrilled to try some time. (Keeping chickens, that is. In my fantasy there are also a couple of cute goats).
I have recently had to add a bin for redemption bottles and a bin for 'other metals', like brass and steel, that I can recycle.
Once I get my scale from storage in CA, then I won't have to guess so much at things.
I will keep looking out for ways to make my actual 'trash' pile smaller and smaller.
I think I will start a recycling log about all this and track the weights.
PDM, why do you think your recyclers aren't recycling?
