We Have Gone Green

Four years ago I moved into my new house. As I got settled, I tried to sign up for our neighborhood recycling program. This program was going to cost me $35/month for pick up. But they could pick up all glass, plastic and paper and I didn't need to separate anything.

Hmmm, no thank you. I need to spend $35 each month somewhere else in the house. I wasn't married at that point and I am not having children (and no grandchildren, duh) so I was ok not recycling at home. Hey, I recycled at work.

So last month our neighbors were picking on us for not recycling and the whole conversation ensued about the cost. Well, little did I know it was FREE to recycle now. Troy and I got on the bandwagon and got our bin. I think the recycle guys think we only drink wine and DP and eat lots of frozen pizza (well Troy eats alot of pizza!). So our bin is overflowing every week now. We are very proud of ourselves.

Well now that we are recycling, how much more green can we get? Ding, ding, ding, Lowe's has told us how. They have a compost bin on sale and on a crazy whim, Troy and I bought one. What now? We are looking for things to throw in the bin now.

I have been reading the following two blogs for suggestions, Today I will mostly be growing and Composting Instructions: How to Compost at Home. 

Do you compost? What do you or would throw in your compost bin?
