Do you #compost? After reading that dumping food scraps in landfills releases massive amounts of methane into the atmosphere, I am now obsessed with composting. ( what you see here is old christmas cookie ingredients on top and left over Indian food underneath and of course stale taco shells 🌮 ) I found a company near my home that brings a this little bucket every week and hauls away our food scraps for about $30/month. I add my tea bags, egg shells, and floral arrangements to the bucket and I can get the compost for my garden. I tried to research composting at home but I didn’t have the time for it so I decided to go with this route which makes my conscious feel a little better. I think we need to start to petition US waste management companies to compost as well as recycle and landfill. That would help with our water systems too for people that put their scraps down the sink. If your water company doesn’t remove the food and compost it, it either creates algae blooms in the water which is bad, or it goes in a landfill creating methane. So let’s complain/ petition/ beg until they compost!

aviation_starr I compost at home, and have found it to be quite easy over the years. We have a large rotating bin outside, as well as a counter sized bucket. Each day, sometimes every other day, we dump the indoor bucket into the outside bin, mixed with a scoop of eco-coir pellets. Give the bin a spin, and repeat each time. The bin is also insulated, so even in the winter we are able to add to the compost without the scraps freezing. By spring, the compost is full and the now soil, is ready to use. Very simple. Not time consuming at all. Basically if you have time to dump a small bucket each evening, you have time to compost at home. It's also a great chore for kids since it teaches them about reusing materials (food scraps) and turning them into something beneficial for the earth. Although a delivery system is convenient and easy, caring about the environment should extend to the toll of what picking up and dropping off compost every week with a truck does for pollution. At that rate, the difference you're making in landfills, is virtually cancelled out by how the air is being negatively affected from burning fuel.

krdarrah I live in the Netherlands now and if there’s one thing they are doing much better than the US it’s waste. Trash cans are much smaller than what we have and are divided in one compost/one all waste and picked up every other week so you HAVE to recycle. Recycling is made easier by having recycling centers everywhere and paying more for plastic/glass bottles which you get reimbursed for returning. Cardboard is picked up once a month by recycling and if you for instance want to pay to take your trash from a home remodel or something you’ll pay about 12 dollars a trailer and you’ll be guided by someone how to separate all of it. It forces you to be conscious and I think it’s not perfect, but a heck of a lot better than we are doing in the US! Good for you for taking initiative ❤️

ulli1919 Waste industry is a big Business over here in Germany. Since the 1990s we are forced to sort our garbage in organic compost, plastic/aluminium, paper and there is a bin for the rest (which is rather small, because there is almost no rest). The local waste compnies make good money with the recycling. To be on vacation in a country with less sorting always feels wrong... to put a newspaper together with plastic feels like eating chocolate with ketchup... it‘s funny how people get used to systems. #many people over here have a compost in their garden and constantly harvest the new soil.

lady_kelly_lee Our garbage trucks also pick up our compost every week. Our system is 1 week garbage, 1 week recycling but every week is compost. We don’t pay any extra and they provide our bins for free. If a wheel falls off, they have someone come and fix it...free. We should not have to pay to compost. Government keeps screaming about global warming (bullshit) and full landfills (not bullshit) but expect people to pay out of pocket to make things better. Sensible? No.

jessicavlane Here in the south of the UK, we have a food waste recycling scheme. We put food waste in big caddies that get collected once a week or so, and the food waste goes to these huge silos where the gas is collected and used fire electricity. Very few places seem to be doing this right now, and I don't get why. America has SOOO much more free land than the UK does, so I don't know why it isn't happening over there already?!

firecracker_426 @stopandshop supermarkets compost all breads, bakery items, produce items and scraps, along with dairy and frozen products (that dont have meats in it) and some deli items (salads and the like) daily. We call them "pig bins" cause its picked up by a company that brings it to a pig farm, turns it into slop and fed to the pigs. So ultimately we are helping make bacon 🤣🐖🐖🐖🥓🥓🥓😂😂😂
