Out council has recently gone from a 2 bin (garden rubbish and general
rubbish)to a three bin system (recyclables added). I rejected the
garden
bin as I shred and compost everything. Now however they have decided
that card and cardboard must go in the garden bin.
Having just upgraded from plastic compost bins to three, roughly 1
cubic
meter wooden ones, I have plenty of room for the card. Incidentally
the
new compost bins are proving far more efficient than the old. So how
do
I compost the card and cardboard? I already compost shredded paper,
but
in the plastic bins that takes a long time to decompose. Do I need to
cut large sheets up, also do I wet it thoroughly before placing in the
composters, any tips most welcome?
