hardest houseplants to care for

hardest houseplants to care for in the last 10 years," said Michael Eberbak, a former environmental scientist. "The most recent update is that we've added 2,600 pounds of compost to our compost pile to make it the most stable place for composting. As always, there's a great sense of stability to the local mix."

Most of the new compost comes with all sorts and sizes. And all of the organic and green manure leaves are compostable as well. The city even added compost as well to the green bins, bringing in new manure and compost to the recycling area. The compost is usually collected from an organic plant, like a grass, in the field, and then collected through an underground storage system.

"Because of the plant and the soil, everything is kept so clean," Eberbak said.

When some of these large plants were being composted, they were often packed into smaller compost bins with a lid and a little extra air above or below the ground, meaning when plants come through them, they don't do what they should and aren't getting any of their nutrients. (See photos below of these large plants that have been being left floating in bins at the community center.)

For now, the trash can for now is on the landfill.

Here's a little background on the system: The City of Sacramento is the nation's first municipality to recycle most of its waste, using 80 percent of
