What can I do with my kitchen waste?

Question

I live in a flat and so don't have a garden. With myself, partner and 2 kids, there's usually a fair amount of food scraps in my rubbish which I would compost if I could. Is there somewhere I can take my food waste so it can be used instead of making my bin smelly and adding to landfill?

Answer 1

In the US, some municipalities have a public compost bin where you can drop off yard wastes.  If your town has this (check with the local landfill or city government), you can collect your scraps and drop-off there.

Answer 2

u live in a flat and hence u along with ur flat members can dig a hole where everyone of u all can put ur kitchenwastes there . after puttin sum earthworms there they wud decompose those wastes to give u all manure known as vermi-compost which u can use as a fuel.

Answer 5

Plan meals more carefully to reduce waste and use all leftovers on a timely basis.  Consider installing a garbage disposal unit in your sink.  At least the waste will be properly treated along with sewage.  Consider forming or joining a community garden club that may promote composting and you will also have the advantage of fresh vegetables in season.
