Do's and Don'ts of Composting


Tips & Warnings



  • Remember when there was only one garbage (may be a recycling bin) to collect all of your waste products as well as your families! Now, there are three bins. To most people now, putting waste in the proper waste basket is the most difficult, confusing experience ever! I hope that this website has made you learn just how simple and easy it is to discard your waste in the proper compartment when necessary. I hope that after this long list of Do's and Don'ts for composting and recycling, you too will find tranquility, relaxation, and acquire a stress-free mind when thinking to compost around your local schools,  home, and the public! Be a leader and advocate for more kids like you to compost to not only save our world but to also save the species that live in it! It's as simple as A, B, C.
