Dear Editor:
Re: “Wrap up your scraps", Letters, Oct. 20 and “Let’s go green, without the flies,” Letters, Sept 12.
There are huge benefits to wrapping or bagging food scraps before discarding them.
Your green bin never attracts flies, it does not stink and you don’t have to wash it out after garbage day.
If wrapping scraps in newspaper doesn’t appeal, try the brown paper recycling bags available at grocery and hardware stores.
These are lined with recyclable material that holds greasy foods.
The bags can be folded over and held closed with a clip until ready for disposal.
Ten small bags cost about the same as a cup of coffee.
Recycling works, if you know how.
