I bet you think this all the time: "Hey, too bad I can't recycle this banana peel." Well, you're in luck!! LHS now has a COMPOST BIN!!! It's the big black box in the courtyard. Just open the lid and throw your banana peel in. You can compost the following items: plant materials, bread, egg shells, plant-based food scraps, and most paper materials (if shredded). Please do NOT throw in: animal products (meat, fats, dairy products), citrus fruits (they're too acidic), metal, plastic, rubber, colored paper, and other trash products. Reduce the waste that goes into landfills by composting!
