First Weigh in
Submitted by Boudry Household on Fri, 09/30/2011 - 11:30am
We are a little late in recording it, but we did our first weights on Sunday night. I was quite glad to see that our total garbage weight was 25 pounds and recycling divided in half was 19 pounds. We are well under the average of 5 pounds per day per person. We are already good recyclers, but I'm sure there are things that we leave out. The biggest change that we can make is composting, so I have started a kitchen container and went to Retzer yesterday to purchase the yard composter. We'll see how it goes!
First shot at Composting
Hi there:
Since we've already held our fall compost workshops, perhaps the Composting Short Course on our county website will be useful: http://www.waukeshacounty.gov/defaultwc.aspx?id=39864
Feel free to post questions as you go along.
