Compost food waste & shredded paper

Did you know that your household food waste can be placed into your compost bin and co-composted with your greenwaste? The moisture from the food is a good addition to the greenwaste to promote high quality land application material. It also helps to promote less frequent rubbish can bag changing since there is no rotten food creating moisture and smell.  You can also add most types of shredded paper (no glossy) to your compost pile.  For more information about composting, visit the US Composting Council at www.compostingcouncil.org.
