Today, I finally got my composting cart from whoever takes my garbage and recycling away. It also came with a new cart for recyclables. The exciting thing is that now Portland is recycling plastic tubs. I won't completely embarrass myself by admiting to the Internet how many plastic tubs I have been saving up in my cupboard because I just can't bear to thow them away into the landfill. I'll just embarrass myself a little by admitting that I have them :)
I had been excited because I thought that the composters would take anything compostable: food scraps, yard debris, and paper products like coffee filters and paper towels. However, the directions say just to put food scraps and yard debris in the can. I am already composting those things in my yard, so I'm not sure what I'll put into the composting bin. I will probably use it like I used my yard debris bin -- to get rid of weeds and invasive plants.
