VIDEO: Tools for Recycling and Managing Plastic Waste


Our biochar crew has been exploring the world of recycling plastics; from detailed technical expertise to an understanding of global trade and the habits of individual consumers. We’ll explore downsides of our cheap plastics based economy, while acknowledging the benefits of plastics as appropriate materials in certain applications. While some plastics are food safe, corrosion resistant, tough, affordable and easily repurposed, others are inherently toxic and can never be properly recycled. We’ll discuss some common strategies and innovative ideas for reducing and reusing plastics in our daily lives.
Join us and contribute to a helpful, motivating discussion and share real world skills for managing plastic waste.

  1. 5 gallon bucket uses…drill holes in bottom 1/4" about 20 total. Dig hole in center of garden deep enough to bury bucket in hole 1/2 way. TOss in bucket of leaves few strips of paper or cardboard (I shred my worms leaves) I do spoil them I admit that. I have in my office a 7 gal bucket with two different species living together. No fighting they just eat, poop an screw, a win-win or what do you think?

Even easier just fill it up with compost or “dirt” and wait a few days
