So you've decided that you want to start composting. What now? Since composting programs vary widely by municipality, the easiest approach is to figure out how you’ll be composting and where your compost will end up and work back from there. For example, a curbside composting program might allow you to use a smaller countertop bin that’s as simple to empty as taking out the trash; if you’ll need to travel to a drop-off site, you may want to buy yourself some time between trips by freezing your scraps in a higher-capacity container.
