Who is Trashbasher?

My photo
Trashbasher
Minneapolis, MN, United States
I created this blog for the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, because people always ask me, "Now where can I recycle (insert item here) again?" I'm passionate about reducing, reusing and recycling, and I drive my friends and family nutty with my constant exhortations. I'm also very gung-ho to expand curbside composting. Until Feb. 2010 I was a newspaper copy editor. Now my passion and my vocation have merged, and I'm working for Hennepin County's Dept. of Environmental Services on waste reduction and recycling!
