Hit 500 pounds of food waste diverted last month
I've been composting for about 8 months now in my apartment in Portland. Last month I weighed everything I threw in the bin and hit 500 pounds total since I started. That's a quarter ton of food scraps that didn't go to a landfill and turn into methane. Has anyone else tracked their waste like this and been surprised by the number?

That 500 pound mark really hits different when you realize most of it was just banana peels and coffee grounds.

Did you weigh them separately or just guessing?
