(I'm just kidding. But do expect to have rotten tomatoes thrown at you on the street if this ever gets out.)
Anyway. I try to compost as much as I can, but I cannot stand leaving peels, pits and such sitting around waiting for a trip to my Urban Compost Tumbler out in our back yard.
So now, I have a container in the freezer, apply labeled, COMPOST, where I put the food bits until I have time (or a much larger amount of things to compost). Then, I grab my COMPOST container from the freezer, and make one trip, often adding an entire bag of shredded bills, in to the composter. I give it a good spin and say goodbye until later.
No bugs inside. Good bugs outside.

Awesome idea!!
I refuse to go to the composter anymore because it has been over run by snails and garden spiders and that makes me wretch so the bits often sit a day or two until my BF tosses them.
This makes that doable.
Ooh, that is good. One of my goals is to start composting but it's hard to get set up in a tiny apartment. Also I am lazy.
that's a great idea sweetie!
That is a great idea. Thanks!
Lia,
How large of a container do you use? If you take a few days to fill it, does that mean it is like a coffee can? How expensive are the above ground composters? My dog always ate our compost before it ever became dirt...lol.
Using the shredded bills is a good idea, since I want to see nothing more than worms eating my creditors...lol!
I really appreciate everything you do for the environment! Keep up the great work!

lilac: Yes, but most brilliant ideas often come out of my laziness.
annika: Depending on where you live, you might be able to set out your compost with your trash.
camikaos: Of course it is. I came up with it.
bubblewench: Enjoy!
Michael: I bought the Urban Compost Tumbler in Portland (they make them here). It was around $200.
I use an old Trader Joe's plastic Brownie Bites container to hold the stuff in the fridge, but I would think you might need to adjust for size of household and amount of veggies you create.
I will look at your info and post about it if I like it. :)
