Year-End Totals

18 years ago

Just for fun, this past year I kept track of all of the free compostables I collected or was given. I kept track of quantities based on the containers I usually used: 5 & 20 gallon buckets and 15 & 30 gallon bags. Things got complicated by year end when the truckloads starting showing up, but here's the totals as best as I can figure. Hope it inspires some new people. Rotten apples: 97.5 gallons; bunny bedding: 1573 gallons; shredded paper: 247.5 gallons; rotten wood chips: 213.75 gallons; pine cones & needles: 3990 gallons; misc green & brown yard waste: 1295 gallon; fresh horse manure: 4 gallons; brown leaves: 8190 gallons. In addition: 1-50 gallon bag of beet pulp; 4 dump truckloads of fresh wood chips; 3 dump truckloads of grass & chopped leaf mix; 21 pumpkins, 5 bales of hay & 7 potted chrysanthemums.
