Spot on. Ignoring my fetish for old IT technology, most of our garbage 
leaves the house in a bucket to get dumped into the cubic metre compos 
bin. Lucky to have a plastic shopping bag full of other items each week.

product that arrives, mostly via the mail box, it too would join the 
compost bins.
