​Food Scraps and Newspaper Recycling - February 2019

​We get at least two community newspapers delivered each week. We also eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables so we have organic waste each day. Unfortunately we don't have chickens but we do have organic waste bins through our council rubbish pick up each week. Rather than fill our organic bin with rotting vegetable peelings and the like, I lay a couple of sheets of newspaper on the kitchen bench and peel my vegetables onto this, along with any other organic waste from the day. Wrapping it up in the newspaper before it goes into the organic waste bin cuts down on some of the rotting smell before bin day and stops that smelly liquid slosh in the bottom of the bin which also means less work for me cleaning the bin out each week. Plus I'm recycling my newspapers at the same time.
