We’ve been composting here in Seattle for almost a year now. It is great. The city garbage will take yard waste and compost it for use in city parks. Since we eat a lot of vegetables, it is a great use of our scraps.

The only problem is the smell and fruit flys on our counter top since we do not empty it everyday. I ended up purchasing this cute compost bin to go under our counter, but they have beautiful ceramic counter top options too.

For other great compost pail options go to Gardener’s Supply.
