Recycling/Composting/Zero Waste 

MSL employees bring green composting (organic material mostly from kitchens and yards like fruits, vegetables, yard trimmings) to add to MSL compost pit (just a hole dug into the ground). MSL composts leftovers from employee meals when appropriate, paper towels, some carboard, shredded paper, and other compostable everyday household items. SPECIAL NOTE: MSL only composts items that are free of chemical waste and that can not otherwise be recycled.  Check out our blog post for more info. Click Here
