I have been composting my organic garbage for years now since I had a yard. Many apartment dwellers don't have that luxury so you would need a separate pick-up for compostable organic waste. It's a lot to think about. Back in the forties, we incinerated a lot of our waste in our backyards, but it was banned due to air pollution.
