Here, most of the recycling bins (except for paper) are not in the building, but every few blocks there are receptacles for glass, metal, plastic and a "bio mass" bin for food waste. We just recently started putting food scraps in a separate bag to take to the bio mass bin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-compost-in-the-city#post-1506012 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 22:28:15 +0000 mrbee 1506012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up composting all of our kitchen scraps in my backyard, and I'd like to do the same with our kids. There's a farmer's market nearby that collects organic waste every weekend, so we have a place to put our scraps.</p> <p>There's a problem though: I started collecting all our kitchen scraps, and it's way more than we can store in a week in our various buckets! So either we need to get a bigger bucket, or we could possibly look into a home composter... something like the Worm Factory 360 Worm Composter:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Worm-Factory-WF360B-Composter-Black/dp/B002LH47PY" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Worm-Factory-WF360B-Composter-Black/dp/B002LH47PY</a></p> <p>The kids would love to have worms in the home composting away! Unfortunately though, that that take way too much room in our small apartment.</p> <p>Does anyone compost in the city? Wondering how to set it up without taking up half our apartment with worms and barrels. </p>
