Recyclables, Composting and Trash
Recycling. Customers are responsible for all recyclable containers that are brought on site. This includes glass, aluminum, tin and plastic. We recommend that you follow your local guidelines for recycling. Please bag and transport your items accordingly. It’s appreciated.
Composting. We compost all kitchen plant material scraps since there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen and it’s good for the garden. (Food products in the septic system are not a good thing!) This may be somewhat different for some of you, but it’s a minor task if you keep it in mind while you are preparing meals. After kitchen compost materials have been gathered they should be placed in the composter located in the garden. You’ll know it when you see it. It’s a large black container in the southwest corner of the garden. Just take off the top and drop in the plant material. A small amount of plain paper may be included as well. For instance, you may collect scraps in a paper bag and the entire bag may tossed in to the composter. Or you may want to wrap your material in newsprint, likewise a small amount of newsprint is acceptable. Or you may just take a bowl of scraps to the garden and dump them in the composter.
Trash. All trash must be disposed of properly. That is, placed in appropriate containers in the cabin or in the trash cans near the front shed. There is also a trash can provided near the outhouse in the canyon. Utilize plastic bags for all trash. Trash will be disposed weekly by Canyon Park.
