Woo hoo! FYI, you *can* compost plates/cups (bagasse ones at least) in a backyard pile but you're right, the cutlery won't break down. Just learned this myself when I checked out my finished compost that reduced (most of) my Memorial Day bbq waste. Also, isn't it true that biodegradable trash bags don't break down in landfills? I thought pretty much nothing broke down in them (but I'm only halfway through Royte's GarbageLand). Have a great weekend and thanks for the amazing local tips. You're so welcome, thanks for stopping by! Re the bags, some are designed to go into compost heaps - as for landfills, they're supposed to be better than plastic. -- Lynn Thanks for the great savings tips and also the news that MOMs will accept consumer waste for composting!
