Occasionally I will cut some up into strips and then “chips” when I want to add more carbon-rich material to my compost. This can be some good fun-with-knives time. :D (Learned more about geometry than wear resistance doing this btw.)
Sounds like me. I take a certain pride in knowing that most weeks we have more in the recycle bin than in the trash. Not how much of it actually gets recycled, but at least we’re trying to do the right thing… Also getting better about collecting all the recyclable plastic bags and such and dropping them off at Kroger periodically instread of just throwing them away.
