What NOT to compost

Today I found a 6 inch replica of the Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701-D on the dumpster next to the bus stop today. It is on my list of things that should NOT be composted or thrown away. Other things of note that were left for the garbage truck that have been given a home in my apartment:
desk,
end table,
desk lamp,
bed headboard/footboard,
brand new broom (old fashioned broomcorn),
frying pan (NEW! can you believe what people throw away?)
stainless steel cuisinart grind-and-brew coffeemaker (with the manual!)
cool modern chair
kennedy rocker (circa 1875.....I took a class and re-caned it)
black modern table
glass coffeetable with stainless frame
wooden stool
etc....etc....etc....

Come on people! You can ask Salvation Army to come and pick this sort of thing up for you. Don't throw this stuff away!

  1. Hey Tracy! Love the blog. I couldn't agree with you more. Freecycle, donate, or at the very least sell thingsat a garage sell or on craigslist!!!

  2. I just read your profile. One of the other «I» states, Idaho, has tops oil up to 75 feet deep in the Twin Falls/Hagerman valley. But I've lived in Illinois, and it's true what the French journalists said in the 18thC--all you have to is put the seed on the ground and it will sprout--no plowing needed!

    Love your black flowers!
