At this point most of my stuff is recycled or composted. When my shredder 
works again I have a stockpile to go into it, and some of that will then 
be directly recycled into paper at home. Precious little makes it out of 
my place headed for a landfill. It was a tossup as to whether I made more 
compost space or rain barrels, but the rain barrels won, and I built 2 
last night. One is already full.
