Thees days it is essential for us to consider what we are throwing out due to the overwhelming amount of garbage being sent to our landfills.  We only have so much space to dispose of garbage unless we want to live in it.  As most of us know there are tools at our disposal to help reduce the amount of waste we send to the curb.  Composters for example are excellent tools which most people can use to eliminate the need for throwing out organic waste such as fruit and vegetable matter, egg shells, grass and leaves, tea bags, coffee grounds, animal hair, and vacuum dust.  These things make up a large part of what we throw out.  Another thing many cities are doing to help get the problem is instituting these use of Green Bins which like recycling bins are collected by the city but are for organic waste, paper and cardboard, meat and bones.  The resulting compost can be used in city projects for planting trees and gardens or in some cities we can buy it for our own gardens.  These are a good way to dispose of compostable types of waste if you live in an area where a composter would be an issue such as a condo.  However if you can compost you will gain the benefits of producing fresh compost for planting and even producing compost teas which are an excellent fertilizer for plants.  I’ve done it for years and it produces excellent soil rich in nutrients and gives me peace of mind knowing the materials used to make it is not going to a landfill.  I believe that the green bins are a great idea too although I don’t use it as much as the composter.  The great part about Green Bins is you can dispose of meats, bones and dairy products which are not very suitable to composters so I pretty much use it for this purpose alone or when I don’t have enough space in my composter.  So the main question here is “Green Bin or Composter”.  Both do the same job but home composting has more benefits for the user but if your city does not have a green program such as the Green Bins, ask them why not?
