Well, that's a lot to ponder. Thanks for all the ideas. My neighbor has a composter on a stand but it is rather large. Every inch of my backyard is taken up. We use the backyard a lot in the nice weather, pool, etc, and I am very leary of anything that might smell.

I like the countertop Vitamix machine, will look into that.

The city suggests freezing food waste then placing it in the brown food waste bin on the pick up day. I like the idea but implementing such a program will probably have a 50% participation rate, I just see it difficult to do effectively in such a dense urban environment. I do hope it works.

I would rather not buy compost to use in the garden so I will give it a go.

Cheers
