Here in Toronto the city collects organic trash in our ‘green bin’ program. So basically food scraps, dog poop, stained paper. That gets collected weekly as part of regular garbage pickup. Inorganics and recycling are...

Thanks—I inadvertently recycled Wednesday’s paper before reading the food section, so I missed that.

They may suggest the cloth bag so moisture doesn’t form. I think it would go stale pretty fast in a cloth bag tho. I bake bread all the time, and let it cool completely, then store it in plastic bags that I recycle from the...

Aha. Some more questions. What sort of restaurant and what kind of menu? If its a place that prints its menu daily on a regular sheet of paper to be recycled/discarded at the end of the day it probably doesn’t matter too...

the pie into a large paper bag (do NOT use recycled bags) and fold end over twice. Fasten with paper clips. Place bag on a cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for one hour. Be sure bag does not touch the oven element. Slit bag and...

I stopped in to check it out and liked the looks of what I saw. I had a long talk with the woman behind the counter about their use of recyclable materials (paper vs styrofoam coffee cups) and her attempt to keep a lid on the...

it in was made from recycled paper, not styrafoam, a nice touch of green I thought.

immensely extends their practical life span – usually can use them for months of weekly use. When these bags are on their last leg, we use them to store our recyclable paper products, and the whole package goes in the...

Hi all! I was reading the last bits of the Highland Park News (Pioneer Press) before recycling it. I double checked the obituaries to see if there was anybody I knew ... a lifelong habit which began around 10. I then flipped over...

every week. I get my eggs (very good, very fresh) from a local farmer. Some vegatables and fruit I get from my local coop, some from the supermarket. I get most non-food items from the supermarket and I generally use paper good...

I think the appeal of using newspaper is kind of the rootsy recycle-reuse-ish, have-it-on-hand kind of thing. Otherwise wouldn’t aluminum foil serve a somewhat similar purpose? Rather than going out and buying blank paper,...

enough for me to control all my paper recycling anyway, what with the two-week schedule. And FD gives you SO MANY boxes... Congrats to the Slopers! Let us know how it goes.

products will have an 800 # on the carton telling you how to recycle (don’t know about that); on the other hand, they more and more try to make it look like paper by putting cute designs on it. It’s really a marketing...

When I was out in SGV in California, one of the things that interfered with enjoyment of food was the use of styrofoam. It’s puzzling to me how California is supposed to be very recycle-conscious, and yet, many of the...

and then pick it up 30 mins later. Overall it’s looking like a great neighbourhood spot. I’m hoping that people appreciate the quality and are willing to pay somewhat higher prices. With regards to the packaging; the...
