How To Easily Compost In A Tiny Apartment

At Pildora, we’re always exploring new ways to engage with the zero-waste movement and reduce our footprint on Earth. It’s not a perfect system, but we’ve come a long way. One important step in creating a positive impact is composting, which is accessible to anyone with a little extra kitchen space. First, what is composting? Simply defined, composting is the reuse of food scraps and kitchen waste to create nutrient-rich fertilizer for plants and gardens. Composting makes a huge impact, both locally and globally. The food waste that ends up in landfills doesn’t decompose properly and turns into methane, a greenhouse gas. By composting, we turn food waste into a natural resource to support the health of plants and avoid creating harmful emissions. Today, we’re talking with sustainability consultant Celeste McMickle of Celestial Solutions about how to compost in your home, especially in a small New York City kitchen. There are two main ways to compost: Compost at home using a worm bin. Collect your scraps and drop them off at a designated composting facility. To find local food scrap drop-off facilities, check online or ask around at farmers markets. Some neighborhood gardeners or farmers may even have a use for your food scraps in their own compost bins! In New York City, the Department of Sanitation has a handy food scrap drop-off map with 150 locations around the city for easy drop-off. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site...
