What To Do With Thanksgiving Leftovers

Getting a compost bin may be the answer for turning turkey table scraps into food for the garden.

Posted by Nathan McIntire (Editor), November 19, 2012 at 06:46 pm

Eyes too big for your stomach? If you simply cannot eat all the Thanksgiving leftovers, compost bins are available at Public Works for $60 to turn your Thanksgiving potatoes and stuffing into a Thanksgiving treat for your garden. Call (626) 932-5553 or email pwcomments@ci.monrovia.ca.us to find out more.

--From the Monrovia City Manager's weekly report.

SGT, AND SAM, What is the common thread to all the scandals coming to light? We are beginning to…Read More unravel the vast conspiracy of Obama's "election". The tea party scared the hell out of some people. They were completely maligned, and undermined by the left, with the help of main stream media. These groups and others like them, were held backed and systemically hindered. As this story is unfolding many in the media angle the story as one of how the Republicans are reacting.......and not reporting on all the illegal activity. I have never in my entire life felt such a contempt for an administration. The Tea Party, who's platform is simply "Taxed Enough Already," is rising again because of all of this. And like I have said: I AM MAD AS HELL. AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! What did you expect from one who started off his political career with a kick-off party from an unrepentant terrorist!! I will not sit and take this anymore. We must fight back this collective, socialist, partisan who is the most NON-transparent evil I have seen in the Oval Office. But don't get me started.......

If so, theoretically, would you agree that if my post, is correct, would be very disturbing?

Why was my comment deleted. I saw it go up and then it came down. Are comments being censored here…Read More now? What I said was where I agree people who worked and volunteered last Saturday should not be attacked but thanked for their efforts, the city council and members of city government know the history of this parade and that their conduct was shameful in allowing it to slip to the wayside and not attacking the issuing early enough to assure it would continue. It would be nice to hear Tom Adams or home town grown Larry Spicer speak to this issue.

Yep, B Ulm.... I was there all day. People were working really hard from early a.m. to clean up…Read More time. I noticed plenty of smiles and laughter, some quick no-nonsense problem solving, and some really rather creative ways to tackle the project at hand. It was smaller scale, there was no carnival (Did the Tilt a Whirl with dried puke REALLY mean that much to you folks?!) Look, the pancakes tasty, kids cute, dunk booth busy. These people did their best, and this is coming from me, an admitted Mr.grumpy pants. Danielle, since you seem keen on helping out per your post, and would volunteer if you knew where to go to do so, please sign up to be the dunkee next year. We'd love to have ya...I might be old but I have one helluva fast ball.

Wow - what an insulting, non-constructive post. You live in a city whose citizens banded together to…Read More tax themselves to save it Foothill wilderness, raised funds to renovate its schools and to build a state of the art library. The fact that one one single event in the year didn't go the way you wanted made you ashamed to be a Monrovian suggests you need to seriously rethink your priorities in life. As the first response said, quit complaining and get involved. Its not very hard in this city to find out how to volunteer if you had given it a slight effort. And the volunteer groups like the one that put the event together are starving for help since tearing people down is a lot more popular these days than putting in hard work. You are the one who should be ashamed.
