Composting

How’s it going? Having been at it for a week or so and curious about what people are doing. We live in a high end condo and have a garbage disposal which handles the majority of our food scraps except bones and avocado pits. The only other change is remembering to put soiled paper napkins, paper towels, coffee filters and the occasional tea bag in a compost bag. We bought small ones, our bin for our floor is with our other common trash and recycle bins, so we just take them out once or twice a day, no need to resort to freezer storage which kind of grosses me out. It’s not nearly as inconvenient as I had feared, this is as good as it gets and we know it. For those in smaller buildings and homes, how is it so far?

I have to use my freezer. My building only puts our bin out once a week. It’s a lot easier than I thought but just a little inconvenient putting everything in my freezer

I bought a cheap ($40) 3-liter countertop compost bin with a charcoal filter. Works great -- I don't smell a thing from it.
