It seems to me that Delta was selling composters for private use in our backyards many years ago. We have used one since they were available and still do to this day.

Everything that can be composted is - and that has been the case for many, many years.

As we also recycle everything possible, our garbage is put out on a two-week basis, even though we are charged the same as everyone else. That's no problem, but we find it offensive that we have used up every banana peel, tea bag, etc. and do not believe this should be a blanket charge for everyone for this new service.

Let's face it, if you been composting, you will continue. If you are not used to the separating of your veggie and fruit peelings before now, you won't.
