Recyling

[Lemur]

Here in WI it's a two-bin system. The biggest impact on our garbage size, however, has been the composting. We're dumping all non-meat leftovers into a composting system we rigged up, with an eye toward free fertilizer for our gardens. THis has really lowered the size of our weekly bin.

In our city, everyone puts their recyclables into a single bin. Every other week (Tuesday for me and my roommate), the recycling people come by, empty the bin, and then sort out the material once they get to the recycling center. It's an easy and convenient system for us.

We do that too. We have a fairly large garden and about a pail of compost every two days, and much more when we're harvesting from our garden or cooking a lot so it definitely makes a big impact on the amount of garbage that we produce.

I recycle when I can, at home it's pretty much just cans and bottles (both glass and plastic) and I guess the same when I'm at school. Wish there was more available for recycling paper but Hawaii is pretty slow on this whole recycling thing.

I guess at home (a coffee farm) we recycle all bones and organic stuff by tossing it in the fields or feeding it to our dog or chickens.
