We have a household of two and I just started a 43 gallon capacity rotating composting bin. Our weekly egg consumption is high and there’s an additional load of volunteering (baking) where I have to dispose of 2-3 dozen egg shells at a time.

What’s the maximum number of shells I can expect to toss in the compost each week? Any ideas on how to dispose of the rest without going right to the trash? We only have recycling and yard debris pickup, no city compost options. Thanks in advance!

  • I have my oven on at least a few times a week to bake, often every day. And much of the year, it simply means my furnace will run less. OP is baking semi-commercially, they’ll have plenty of preheating time to borrow.
