That's quite a large regular ammount to get rid of. Do you have any neighbours with large lawns or can you join a community garden group to get a soure of nitrogen? Coffee and brewing grain etc is nitrogen as well if I recall so any local cafes or breweries that could help you out?

Don’t use newspaper- we made that mistake for a long time. Get a bit of Lino instead- much easier to clean and far less soggy stuff to get rid of!

We've got guinea pigs (stay with me here), which between them generate about 40l of spoilt bedding (sawdust, hay, newspaper, poo) a week. I'd like to make use of this.
I understand that this is 'brown' for the purposes of composting, and I can't generate enough green waste to balance it out. Is there anything else I can do with it? Try and use it for mulch?
