While this is good, at the same time I feel the need to point out that there is still a food related flaw in this situation.

First I will ask though, do most places have separate bins that your compost goes in that the garbage trucks pick up? We have a system here where every home was given a green wheeled bin that compost goes in. Every garbage pickup, they have a separate compartment on the trucks for this waste. It is then taken to a factory that turns it into that clean brown compost we buy in bags... is this the case everywhere else?

Anyway, on with my complaint. This compost that is turned to fuel and burnt, is less compost being bagged and sold...lower supply, equals higher prices. Higher prices for farms equals higher prices for your food... They find a way to screw you no matter what.

The only way this is a good idea is if it is in an area where there is no recycling program. If you throw your cans out with your cardboard and food scraps in the same garbage bag... then I can see a point. But if you have a well run program as in here, it's counter productive.
