I started a compost pile this weekend. I am very excited about this. I am ashamed to say that it took my town going to a pay as you throw trash system (we have to buy certain town branded trash bags and the trash truck will only pick up trash in those bags) for me to start to get serious about recycling and cutting down on my waste. It is shameful that it took that monetary incentive to get me off my butt to do this, but now I am glad it happened.
I bought a rotating compost bin as well as a small container for the kitchen. I taped a list of what can and can not go in the compost bin to the kitchen container so that anyone can look and see what to throw in there. The outside bin is on rollers so you can spin it to mix everything up. This is great because the kids love to roll it so that is something they can help with to be part of this project. They are also having fun figuring out what they can put in the bin and also walking around the yard collecting leaves and grass and twigs to put in the big.
