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!

    This is a great idea! I’d considered getting cartoned eggs but exploring no egg options might be better all around. Thanks!

      Try garbanzo bean water, or aquafaba, using unsalted canned garbanzo beans. The protein chains in the water function very similarly to egg whites.
