New Orleans is troubling with its lack of recycling, and I don't want to get into it because then I would have to admit the amount of waste that we've produced since we moved down here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Our biggest composting problem is that, since we don't have a real yard (it's a paved concrete patio), our mix is almost all greens and no browns. We generally wind up bartering for bags of leaves from neighbors with trees. (Free compost, just give us your leaves!) And then hoping the porter doesn't throw them out.

I have no recycling, and I don't have a car to schlep stuff elsewhere so, much as I hate it, everything pretty much goes in the trash. I do better on the reduce and reuse side though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We did have recycling. But then it went away. I forget why.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
For those who have municipal composting/green bin services, how does that work (i.e., what's included? is it mandatory? included in any normal solid waste fees or extra? how frequent? and, you know, stuff)? Here, we have curbside yard waste pickup (which the city turns into compost and/or mulch) in addition to the garbage and recycling bins, but food waste composting is left up to you.
(Y'all, this whole conversation is SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING than the work I'm not doing right now.)

The city will only pick up recycling or trash for buildings with 4 units or less. Anything larger has to take care of it on their own.
