Use the Right Bag For Your Kitchen Compost Pail
Some people prefer lining their kitchen pail to help it clean and tidy.
- Bags are not required, but if you choose to use one make sure to use only certified compostable bags – check for the logos on the box.
- You can also use old flyers and newspapers to line your green cart
- DON’T use plastic bags in the green cart – they don’t break down and contaminate the finished compost.
