1.
What is “pre-composting”?
♦
Pre-composting is the process of shredding food scraps to the ideal size for composting.
Pre-composting helps to increase the amount of waste you can store and jump-starts the
composting process.
2.
What can I shred in my Green Cycler?
♦
This depends on many variables including your strength and patience. Ask yourself this simple
question: would I put this size food chunk down my garbage disposal? If not, test it.
♦
Some things, such as avocado pits, are surprisingly easy to green cycle. Some fibrous materials, such
as corn husks, become entangled in the Shredder Cartridge and might be difficult to remove.
♦
Some foods work better if they are cooked. Some work better raw. Some sticky foods, like banana
peels work best when slightly frozen.
♦
Simply use common sense about the size and volume of organic material that you place in your
Green Cycler.
3.
How do I clear stringy food out of the Shredder Cartridge?
♦
Remove your Shredder Cartridge and spray it with a sharp blast of water from the faucet. Never
insert hands into the Shredder Cartridge.
4.
How long can I keep food scraps in my EcoDrawer?
♦
Many factors including climate and volume of scraps will affect your storage time. Always empty
your EcoDrawer when shredded scraps reach the top or when your Green Cycler will not be in use
for an extended period of time.
