Office compost bin picks up momentum

| I have been collecting coffee grounds at work for several months now. I got some biodegradable compost bags, which I thought would make things look neater. Now a coworker has contributed a beautiful stainless steel bucket with a lid. The donations of apple cores, banana peels, and other fruit leavings are increasing. Success beyond my wildest dreams. |

| Good for you! This reminds me of an earlier thread on recycling, where, if I recall correctly, you brought home recycling from work, did you not? I believe it was you who bought mugs for co-workers too, to cut down on paper/styro cups. I also bring home recycling from work, and an occasional banana peel from a co-worker, but I never thought to put a little bucket out for other compostables. What a great idea! I wonder if it would go over in my workplace... :)

| Over in the Vermicomposting (i.e., worm composting) forum you will find postings of people who have set up worm bins in their workplaces and composting right on site. Done correctly, there is no smell or bother. Worms are very quiet. This might be your next step. Folly |

| My boss and I considered having a worm bin at work, and she was going to talk to her supervisor about it, but I never heard further. Maybe I should bring it up again... :)
