It seems like common sense, but a question we hear alot is “Can you recycle a pizza box”? In short, the answer is “yes”! But here are the rules, if the pizza box is dry without alot of greese, oil or cheese then you can put it in the recycling bin otherwise toss the pizza box in the compost bin. Many times the lid will be clean and the bottom is greasy, so just tear the lid off and throw that in the recycling bin and the other greasy part in the compost bin.
Target online has a Stainless Steel Compost Keeper that is attractive enough to sit on your kitchen counter and has a built-in charcoal filter to fight odors. I ran into this looking for a good indoor solution for a townhome or apartment that cost around $60. However if you’re willing to spend $300 or $400 for an advanced indoor composter then check out Nature Mill’s Indoor Composter.
Next time you make that fresh brew of coffee, don’t throw away the grounds. Instead store them in a container or sprinkle them evenly over lettuce beds, bushes or your front lawn. Coffee grounds are high in nitrogen making them a perfect fertilizer for leafy growth.
