Everything that is biodegradable, like food scraps, goes in one bin; everything like paper or plastic goes to another; and medical waste to the third bin. I have also been composting my wet waste, an average of two pounds per day. This amounts to nearly 2,800 pounds diverted from the landfill over four years.
