What Tricia says about Portland, Oregon, is a brilliant idea and keeps everyone happy and healthy.

I have my own compost pile here on the property but in winter, i must confess to being lazy and using the green bin providing by the county instead – it then gets turned into compost and offered free to members of the community each year. it’s pretty much a win / win situation.

I love Portland–the community always seems to be on the cutting edge, whether it’s public transportation, sprawl reduction, and now composting food waste. It all makes for a very livable city. This is an idea that needs to be shared with city planners everywhere!

Many of us compost with worms everything we can, but this allows say the turkey parts we didn’t eat to get composted in with yard debris…
