community composting for those who don;t have a garden where they can dispose of their kitchen waste and reduce it's volume and weight by 80% and keep the compost for their garden and veggie patch.

Extra GRRRRRR fuck ... this was trialed and implemented in many European countries 30-odd years ago. Surely we can learn from them, rather than from the USA for a change?

Have a look inside of one.
$5 says it contains so many contaminants, it can't be used fir composting.
Community, as in down the road, in the park nearby, on school grounds, public spaces...

Oh that community ... Inner West council told us to stick it in the green bin, as it all goes to the same place ... I think they meant composting ... Giggles

That why you having one bin works ... It all gets sorted

I remember a documentary, about it somewhere in Europe that trialed one bin and had ways of sorting it, even down to coloured glass and type ... It was rather high % that was recycled... Over all it was a positive
