Still making Dirt -- slowly!
Back in September we set up our Compost Bin that we got from The Richmond Clean City Commission. We actually picked up 2 - and will be using #2 in about another month when our first Compost gets full.
So far so good. I'm really impressed and somewhat amazed about about much waste we produce. We are a family of 4 (soon 5). And on average we produce about 3-4 bags of garbage a week. and 2 recycle bins full every other week. Since we started the compost bin - we have been averaging about 3 bags of garbage each week.
No we are not putting that much trash in our compost - but I think we have been more aware of what goes in our trash. Since, we are saving our food scraps (no meat or dairy) for the compost, I think we are catching more of what can be recycled. Cool!!!
