Phone Book

Here at 220 S Saint Clair we have a thing we like to call "the internet." Therefore, we don't need a printed phone book. Ever. 

I usually shred it and periodically in the composter. If you tear on the grain of the paper it is really easy to rip into strips. Then you just pitch fork it in with your compostible organic material (1/3 paper, 1/3 food stuffs, 1/3 yard debris - ish) and BAM! Compost. Note: it is not that easy. This is not about composting though, it is just an explanation as to why the scenes below are really not that far off from a ritual that I had even prior to having children. I just threw the scraps on the floor first before sweeping them up and throwing them in the compost.
