The many traditions of the holiday season brings a lot of waste that gets discarded in the garbage - from torn up wrapping paper to food scraps. However, it doesn't have to be such a wasteful time of year, as plenty of it can be put straight in your compost bin and turned into organic matter to feed the plants in your yard.
If you don't already make your own compost, use the holiday season as a starting point to collect lots of unusual compost ingredients. Of course, not every last bit of trash you accumulate during the festivities can be composted, but there are lots of items that certainly can.
