Question by Mikeyson4: What is the best way to dispose of “take home” compostable containers? trash, recycle or compost?
I have the availability to do all three types of disposal just wondering what the most eco-friendly way to do so.

obviously compost

if you trash it, landfills are generally well sealed and the container has little opportunity to biodegrade. it also defeats some of the purpose of the container which is to keep it out of the landfill. the other part is that the material used is not plastic – ie no plastic and less oil used to make it.

you could only recycle it in a service that takes items for composting, no part of the container is recyclable as it is going to degrade. it is basically a usable but less than edible food product.

of course you could attempt to reuse the item until it starts to fall apart.
