Hi! I’ve gotten into composting a lot more, and I try to do my best to compost everything that is compostable (Napkins, qtips, coffee grounds, etc) I even have a plastic bag I put all my compostables in, so I can put them in my bin when the bag is full. I even asked my coffee shop for their coffee grounds, which I’m hoping to make a weekly thing. What are some things you compost and do for the environment?

    I say start your own compost. Most stuff that gets recycled, I think 75% gets rejected, so start small with your compost. Add egg shells, banana peels, apple cores, newspapers to start. And grass clippings. Grass clippings will fill it up quick though.

      Do you have any source saying a substantial amount of organics are rejected? I’ve seen that number attached to combined bin recycling (plastic/glass/metal). I don’t think compostables can be thought of the same because usually organics are processed regionally whereas inorganics are shipped internationally.
