Apartment setup
For a shared system to work smoothly, start with two bins — remembering to start small at first to gain buy-in. Get identical bins and add labels to the lids (available from council) with clear colour-coded instructions: green for the active bin/s ("feed me — equal parts kitchen and garden scraps") and red for the resting bin/s ("leave me— I'm cooking"). Get in touch and we’ll send you ready to print labels.
Everyone feeds the active bin (the one labeled with the green sticker). When it's full, swap the lids — so the red goes on the resting bin while a new or emptied bin becomes the active bin with the green lid. This simple rotation means there's always somewhere to add scraps and always a bin quietly composting in the background.
