trash talk: wednesday...

let me tell you--writing down every piece of waste that leaves the valleygirl home is totally starting to get old. anyway.

compost:

banana peel

broom dirt

vacuum dirt

a bunch of wilted cilantro

coffee filter & grounds

lunch waste--we ate at a play cafe. they compost all paper, even coffee cups. our waste included one cup (i forgot my reusable), 3 sheets of waxed paper and 2 napkins

recycle:

paper (list for trash talk friday, saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday)

cream container (not 100% sure that this was actually recyclable)

clothing tag (lucy got some like-new pink converse!)

receipts

tons of junk mail (wednesday is our grocery store mailing day--we get at least 6 big ads from local grocery chains. anyone know how to get off of this list?)

2 catalogs (we hardly ever get catalogs anymore after using catalogchoice.org)

plastic from lucy's lunch fruit cup

a paper lunch bag not suitable for reuse

#5's:

none

trash:

fabric scraps

twist tie

produce sticker

yogurt cup (stonyfield yogurt is a number 6 and not recyclable here. we no longer buy them, but this one was given to us).

fruit leather packaging

misc. plastic wrapping from some craft items i needed (making lucy's birthday present)

well, you know the drill. i'll be back tomorrow with more.
