Comments on: I Love L.A. http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/06/19/i-love-la/ a look at how America squanders nearly half of its food Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:34:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Azulao http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/06/19/i-love-la/#comment-28679 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:56:30 +0000 http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/06/19/i-love-la/#comment-28679 I'm so glad to know that I'm ahead of the curve in LA County! ;-) My new landlady would definitely NOT appreciate a compost heap in the yard, so I've been surreptitiously dumping my compostable kitchen waste in the yard waste for weeks. Goodness knows my few pounds of veggie scraps are nothing compared to the tragic amount of waste that the yard produces (she's a great landlady but O dear, she hates xeriscaping, she thinks it's ugly).

I don't know whether the pickup would have limitations, but I'd bet it wouldn't allow meats, fats, oils and grease. From what I understand--and I'm no expert--you can compost those items, but most people choose not to because they're afraid of attracting pests. Sounds good, Danielle.

I compost at home, and have for many years. I become very away of my waste when i compost - i noticed most of it comes from food packaging (processed) - which motivates me to buy less processed foods.

Would this curbside compost pickup have any limitations on what can go into it? We compost at our house, but only items that do not contain grease, butters and oils.
