Before the year is out I wanted to tell you about an awesome gift I received for Christmas! In an effort to further reduce the organic waste, from our kitchen, that we contribute to our weekly trash (and ultimately, landfills) I was given a compost pail for Christmas.

This compost pail (pictured left), which I will keep for kitchen recycling to help me with my goal of recycling more, allows for organic material waste from the cooking process to be placed in a gallon pail. This handy kitchen compost pail allows for vegetable scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea leaves and other cooking herbs to be deposited in the pail and not the trash. Ultimately, the pail will need to be emptied into a compost bin or compost pile you keep (or frequent) outside.
The compost pail does come with filters to prevent decomposition (read: nasty, stinky and smelly) odors from overtaking your kitchen for a few days. I think this is a perfect gift for the cook and recycling minded individual looking for further materials to remove from the normal household trash.
Now with a compost pail and my knowledge about carton recycling, there will be a drastic reduction in our kitchen cooking scraps and cartons going to landfills from our trash.
