Hey Mike~ Welcome to urban composting. It make so much sense to compost and if you get a good system down it reduces your trash-bag use and bad odors indoors. A Doctor I knew from the Upper East Side has that Vitamix indoor gadget, which (freeze?) dries the compost and makes a non-smelly dry dirt-like-lumps which she tosses under a local rose bush when she walks her dog. I don't like to spend money on things and it seems like it uses a lot of energy, so my compostables go in a sealed barrel in the back-lot which eventually mix with old plants or soil, then it composts further into BLACK GOLD ! I put it on the three-wells out front of the building. City trees don't get a lot of love, our trees are thriving, to think, this place used to be a ghetto. You can also carry your compost to the nearest green-market there is usually a compost collector on site.



ps. don't compost bones ( for some reason?) and pistachio shells take years (!)
Corks have rubber in them, so don't reduce at all are nOT compostable. Strange right?
Avacado pits take a bit of time but they go pretty good. The soil you get will be amazing.
