Instead of just throwing everything in the garbage or down the garbage disposal, why not think about composting? I have a neighbor who regularly composts. Not only is she doing her part in making the world a better place, she is doing her pipes a favor too. Way to go Lynn!
Did you know all organic matter will eventually disintegrate? If it once was alive, it can be composted. Composting yard trimmings and kitchen scraps can produce a healthier soil to give your living yard and garden a better nutrient system.
Composting helps reduce the amount of waste going down our drains and in our landfills. Each of us can manage the organic waste we generate by creating a compost box at home. Check with your local city hall for tips and directions.
Just a few of the many things you can compost are:
- Paper napkins
- Potato peels
- Tea bags
- Egg shells
- Grass trimmings
- Fruit rinds
- Shellfish shells and fish bones
- Peanut shells
- Brown paper bags
- Bread crusts
If you do accidently put some of these things down the garbage disposal and develop a clog contact your local Mr. Rooter® Plumbing.
Here’s wishing you a world class and some fun composting!
