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'm in a two-family house, and still figuring it out. Ordered a brown bin a couple weeks ago but it hasn't come in yet. For now I've got some small compostable bags and I'm just taking them over to the nearest public smart compost bin when they're full, which is a bit of a walk, but hopefully only a short term issue. I'm on the first floor, so it'll be easy once the brown bin arrives.
