For some weeks, my sister (who lives locally) was getting serious about
her garden so would easily fill her 'Recyclables' bin then she would
bring three of those big bags (full of her garden waste) and dump them,
out of the bags, into my (usually) almost empty bin.
By about week three, my sister had read the BIG print on those bags so
knew they were compostible so dumped them (bag and all) into my Bin.
