Lindcurt on May 19, 2015I love to use newspapers around the house after I have read them. They are the best for making windows sparkle. I spray with glass cleaner and then wipe with crumpled newspaper. I also use 1/4 sheets to wrap my fruit and vegetable peels and parings, then put them in the compost bin. Green and brown materials together break down faster. I also use those "prospectus booklets" that I get from my investment company. They are just the right size for an apple core or banana peel. I helps to keep the flies from swarming if you don't get your composting materials out the door the same day. I keep them handy in a basket on the lowest kitchen island shelf.
