Joe and Hayley noticed that composting and recycling reduced their rubbish to one bag per week, a considerable reduction.  They attributed this largely to composting, which they had not done before but found to be little effort.

The introduction of composting had another result - reduced vegetable purchases.   Using the compost bin showed the family clearly how much fruit and vegetables were being thrown out uneaten each week.
