Katey working the shredder to recycle

We are constantly recycling here at camp. We’re an Outdoor School, so we try very hard to practice what we teach (so to speak). We’ve got blue bins with recycling outside, inside, and next up and down. David and Chris make a weekly trek to the transfer station in Frazier Park to haul away our cans, bottles, papers, cardboard, milk jugs and cans. If we could recycle all our garbage, we probably would. But the next best things to recycling our garbage are the worms that live in Matt’s office. They eat our banana peels, old leftovers, and even our shredded paper. Our goal as a campsite is to have a complete composting system sometime in the near future. The only problem is the bears…how do you get a 200-pound bear to NOT eat your compost?

Do you recycle or compost? Do you have any other earth friendly tricks?
