DAY 9: Chestnuts Roasting – Composting at Christmas

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire was an American tradition evoking images of Christmas through the 18^th and 19^th centuries. Although vendors on city street corners selling roasted chestnuts during Christmas are fewer since a disease made American chestnut trees extinct; the tradition is still alive on certain parts of the country (New York City).

If you get around to roasting your chestnuts on an open fire this Christmas, know that chestnuts and other nuts can go in a HOTBIN.

DAY 8: Sweet Treats – Composting at Christmas

For anyone with a sweet tooth, Christmas is the best time of the year. Whether it’s pudding on Christmas day, candy canes, cookies, a slice of cake or apple pie, along with a cup of eggnog, hot cocoa, coffee, or tea. If you don’t manage to finish them all off, just remember to remove all wrappers, break them up and then compost them. HOTBIN loves a sweet treat every now and then, and can compost them.

DAY 7: It Wreath-Cycling - There are many types of natural wreaths but those associated with the festive period are commonly made from evergreens to symbolize strength and longevity as they survive the cold harsh winters. The good news is that you can compost natural wreaths and all of their natural components in HOTBIN.
