I feel in the suburbs where you have cookie cutter houses that all have garburators it must add a little bit of load. How does it compare to municipally run composting?

Wait, it’s a separate service? For me it has always been part of the garbage collection tax. You get a couple of bins and a collection schedule. If you’re unlucky, you also pay per bin emptied depending on your municipality. It’s not really a choice not to have the service, as it is part of living in the municipality you live in. Fun to learn how things that are so normal to me can be so different in other places!
Every municipality is different so I’m sure there is no certain answer …
Mine has better service than anyone I know. It’s all covered by taxes (vs per bag fees in many places), and they’ll take pretty much anything. If it’s big or heavy, they prefer a call to send a flatbed, but they’ll take it. They’ll take recycling and Christmas trees and yardwaste, and will even vacuum up leaves in the fall. When everyone was transitioning away from CRT TVs, my town was one of very few to take it without a fee. They have hazardous waste drop off without a fee. They’re just really good…… but composting is an extra service I’d have to pay for
