I love this tip; I am still doing it after a year and it's great in so many ways. I find my compost is way better with the addition of the paper, and everything is so much cleaner. Also, gives me something to do with the brown paper bags that are contaminated with food waste (from being filled with delivery food, usually), since in my district paper contaminated with food waste can't be recycled.

If you collect kitchen scraps for composting, rather than dumping the scraps into a tub or bucket where they get sticky, stinky, and hard to get out (coffee grounds and potato peelings sticking to the sides, needing lots of water), just put a brown paper bag (appropriate size) into your clean, dry composting bucket, and empty it daily, or more often. It'll lift out, no fuss, no muss. AND, better yet, it contributes to your 'brown waste' component needed for good compost. For best composting, use a trowel or a garden claw to break up the bags every now and then to speed composting. My name is Natalie Lanoville, and I'm from Vancouver, Canada.
