Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

  Dry waste tends to be easier, so if you can compost all of your wet waste you should be able to do it. I am thinking about lining my trash container with a large Kraft trash bag and just adding my loose waste from the wastebaskets and then rolling the top down when rolling the cart out. As long as it is dry it should work!
