Compost

Compost is a way to recycle, in Sweden we're using it a lot in our homes. A compost is a sort of container were you put all of your garbage that can decompose and become soil. Food waste and garden waste are examples of things that can decompose into soil, and they should therefore be placed in the "compost-container". In the compost, the garden- and food waste decomposes in a natural way by bacterias into soil.

This is a very good way to recycle food waste or garden waste, when the whole "process" is done, all you got is decomposed soil.

  1. I have read this way to recycle in a fantastic book on recycling! I think it is a very good idea! We have a brown bin where we throw away our old food, but i don't know where it goes! Do you have it too?
    I also have read that there is a web site: "The Freecycle" where you can post a message with something that you want throw away and probably someone (who is interested and who live near your town) can take your thing! It is great!
