According to the U.S. EPA, every American throws away an average of 1.3 pounds of food scraps daily. In addition to this,
yard trimmings and food waste combined make up 24 percent of our nation’s municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. Starting a compost pile can happen anywhere, at any time. From your kitchen to your backyard to a worm bin, composting can make a huge dent in your waste and produce a rich product you can use to help maintain your yard, give to friends or even sell at the local farmer’s market or garden center.

Composting is a smelly job, but so good for the environment. I found a great composting bin at Costco. It is way prettier in the yard than the homemade kind. Check out their website at www.Costco.com
