I recently visited my friends Kate and Matt. They have reduced much of their garbage by recycling and by putting a compost pile in their back yard. They compost food scraps, paper towels, napkins, bunny bedding, cat litter and more (note: they do not use this compost on a veggie garden).
Another tip that they shared is that they have stopped using garbage bags. Since they compost all organic materials, their garbage is not messy or stinky. They just pile their garbage into the can without the plastic liner. When it’s time to take the garbage to the dump, they load the garbage can into Matt’s truck.
