Links
Many fantastic composting resources are available through the
links below. Chicago residents and residents of any urbanized
area should note, however, that some of the information listed
on these sites may not comply with your local rodent control agency's
composting requirements. For Chicago residents and for the best
protection against rodent problems, use a bin with a lid, a floor
and no holes larger than 1/4 inch, and never add meat, dairy,
grease, grains or pet waste to your bin.
