Want to Compost?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Is anyone out there in need of compostables?

I realize this is an odd thing to offer, but I'm vegan and have a voluminous farm share so the bulk of my trash is compostable. I do not have a bin/pile and my liberal guilt over usable stuff going to waste is getting to me, so I thought it might be possible for somebody else to use it. Maybe arrange a pick-up/drop-off once a week or so? No orts, just the "clean" stuff generated during food prep.

When I volunteered at Kripalu a couple of years ago, they'd collect the peels, cores, and such from veggie prep to feed local livestock, so this sort of thing isn't unprecedented, anyway.

And to make this post more generally useful: For folks who don't know, the City of Somerville offers residents the Earth Machine composter for $25.

you're welcome to put the scraps on ours whenever you want :)

Ooh, didn't know you had one! Though if I did know, I'd probably figure you had plenty to go in it. :)

we do, but that doesn't mean it can't support more. Ro drops stuff occasionally, as has another friend.

it's in the back, by the fence, in between the tree and what may appear to be another tree but is really a pole overgrown with ivy. of course, i can also point you at it if you come over.

I'd be up for dropping my scraps in/on as well, if that'd be cool.
