A composting life

I started composting about 2 years ago. I researched composting using a large Tupperware bin instead of purchasing a container specific for composting. I really didn't think I would be able to fill it and I wasn't sure if I would like composting. I started with picking up all the twigs and leaves in my yard. The nice thing was that I was cleaning my yard at the same time. To my surprise my neighbor had a compost bin that she never used, so she offered it to me. I took her up on the offer. In the beginning, I put big sticks and all vegetable scraps in the composter. I soon realised that the sticks were not a good idea because they took up lots of space and delayed the actual composting time. I need to only use small twigs or break the sticks up into small pieces. So, in the beginning my composting was slow. After 2 years, I feel like I am a pro composter, I am even ready to get another composting bin because my current bin is always full. Since I recycle and compost, the amount of garbage that the garbage collectors pick up is minimal. Some weeks I do not have any garbage for them to pickup! I recommend composting, it rocks!

Define recycle

I found this blurb regarding the importance of recycling.
Wikihow says "Everyone knows it's better to recycle an item than to throw it away. It's good for the environment, rewarding, and, in some areas, can earn you spare change. Recycling helps cut domestic waste that would otherwise be buried in landfills and provides a steady supply of pre-used materials that can be transformed into new, practical objects we use every day. Recycling is beneficial to the environment and to us. "
