Are you thinking of starting a compost pile at your home? If you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to turn kitchen waste into rich soil with a number of uses, this is a great way to contribute to emptying landfills. Composting can be done with all kinds of organic material, but we sometimes forget that certain materials can actually be composted. Here are three that you might have never realized that were compostable.
Eggshells
Although they might seem like a hard waste that has to go in the trash can and to the landfill, eggshells can totally be composted. Just be sure to break them into small pieces so that they can easily break down instead of adding full shells.
Wine Corks
Wine corks are made from completely organic materials as long as they aren’t made with synthetic materials – so make sure it’s synthetic before you add it to the compost. This means that you can toss them into your compost pile after finishing your next bottle of wine!
Tea Bags
Most tea bags are made out of natural fibers and other organic materials, meaning that they can easily be composted along with the tea leaves that are contained within them.
