According to the official Kent city website, around 70% of what you throw out in your garbage is recyclable. You also have 30% that is compostable. In other words, right now you could have a zero waste home. That would mean that everything you throw out is being recycled, reused and refurbished. The key is making sure the right things go in the right cans. Once you have that system worked out it will become a matter of routine to sort your garbage. One area where folks can really improve is the compost vs. the garbage. Sounds like the same things but they are different.
Baking compost.
Did you know you could put all your food scraps into the yard waste bin? You don’t have to toss them in by the handful. Use a paper grocery bag. When that bag of food gets tossed into a compost pile, it will break down with the rest of the goodies. What doesn’t work is when you mix in things like cans, soda bottles or glass. The goal with compost is to use the organic materials that will eventually go back to their raw materials. Try this experiment. Leave a paper bag and a soda can out in your garden for a six months. Chances are that bag will be broken down and absorbed by the soil while the can will just stay there being a can.
