I bought one of those composters that you put on your kitchen counter and put all your scraps in it. It heats and stirs and a couple hours later you have dry compost that looks like fluffy dirt. I hardly have any garbage now and what I do have I can wrap in paper like we used to do before plastic bags. Screw them all with their raised prices.
