Any Trash Talkers? (aka Composting)

My town is doing curbside composting as a pilot right now, and I love it. They distributed small kitchen bins, compostable plastic bags to line the bins, and larger bins to store outside, put the bags of compost in, and leave out on the street. It gets picked up on the same day as garbage and recycling. My landlords also compost but are a bit more careful about what can go into it - they like to keep it pretty close to uncooked vegetable scraps basically - so it’s nice that I can now compost almost everything. My parents have the informal style heap (literally a pile of compost with chicken wire around it), but that’s on property basically surrounded by woods.
