Home Composting

We only have trash pick-up every other week—and our trash bin is not that big. It's been a challenge, reducing our waste, especially as plastic packaging, except bottles with necks, is not recycled. Cambridge City Council does make available these countertop composting units. Well, they actually don't compost, but you collect materials in them which goes into your big Green Bin which then is collected, every other week, and used to make compost. The brown bags that line this little green bin are offered free of charge from the Cambridge City Council office.
