Question of the Week<\/h3>\n

Shown below are five images of items which can be composted. Which item(s) can NOT be put into a worm bin?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Animal<\/a><\/a><\/span>\"Compostable\"Paper<\/a>\"Pizza<\/a>\"Vegetable<\/a><\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

Animal food waste and compostable servingware are not compostable in a worm bin.<\/p>\n

Food waste from animal products, such as meat, dairy, and eggs, can cause strong, unpleasant odors and attract pests. Meanwhile, the compostable servingware requires high temperatures, such as those created at the PRC, in order to break down. Both of these items may be composted in the curbside Yard Debris bins in Corvallis.<\/p>\n

In a worm bin, cardboard should be torn into small strips or chunks to make it easier for the worms to digest, and fruits and vegetables which can alter the pH of the environment (ie, tomatoes and citrus) should be avoided or kept in small quantities.<\/p>\n

Campus Recycling can provide worm bins or other composting options <\/a>to interested departments, who need only to fill-out a request form<\/a> to sign up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
