Composting for non-gardeners

While checking out the Field to Fork website I came across a service called Compost Cab. Feel bad about throwing out trash that's perfect for a compost bin because you don't have a garden? These guys give you a bin and come pick it up so a local nonprofit can use your organic waste for their composting. And they service anything from your house to restaurants to reception halls.

From my own very brief experience with composting I've learned that the process is not particularly efficient -- it takes a lot of volume to produce anything in a useful quantity. So batching a bunch of people's trash is a pretty clever idea.
