We're finally doing composting and added a green bin in the garbage room. Recology gave a presentation during the HOA Annual Meeting.

What Bin - good resource to see what Recology can handle in each area

A few things that surprised me:

Biodegradable plastics - Do not compost. They do break down but too slow for Recology.
Compostable bags - these also compost very slowly so Recology may stop recommending using
Milk/juice cartons - these go in recycling instead

Our bin pickup is on Tuesdays so I'll probably put my compost in Monday night to help cut down on odors.
