Where should I throw this out?

"Where should I throw this out?" Nana asked at last nights party for my son's 5th birthday, while holding a plastic container of cherry tomatoes. Tomato in the compost, plastic in recycle was my obvious response... but I think she was a bit shocked.

Needless to say, we have an overgrown compost pile outside, not very close to the house, that Ive decided to start back up. I grew weary of having a produce bag on the counter & decided to use my other vase for the compost (as I did with the other for Coffee grounds). Its working out well and we didn't have to purchase anything new.

I need plans on how to better my compost pile though. As I said its over grown, and honestly hard for me to care for. Ill take photos and post later. Perhaps someone will have a suggestion or two.

Grounds

In our attempt to create less waste/trash not only have I gone commando on recycling, but all vegetable matter is going out onto our OLD and overgrown compost pile or to the birds, and we re-purpose our used coffee grounds. I add them to the flower beds, the gopher holes, etc... two folks with two different types of coffee ends up being a bit of grounds weekly and the plants are happy.
