1. What is “pre-composting”?
♦ Pre-composng is the process of shredding food scraps to the ideal size for composng.
Pre-composng helps to increase the amount of waste you can store and jump-starts the
composng process.
2. What can I shred in my Green Cycler?
♦ This depends on many variables including your strength and paence. Ask yourself this simple
queson: 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 brous materials, such
as corn husks, become entangled in the Shredder Cartridge and might be dicult to remove.
♦ Some foods work beer if they are cooked. Some work beer raw. Some scky 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 aect your storage me. 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 me.
