In Bentonville, Allied Waste is charged with picking up the trash and recyclables (the list is short of what they take; more on that in another post). There is no green bin for yard and food waste here. Since I haven't spoken to any of our neighbors about this yet, I'm not sure what people around here do with their food waste. I have noticed that when some people cut their lawns, they allow the clippings to be distributed back into the lawn, a lot of which gets blown into the street.
Since we knew there would be no local pick up of our compost items, we purchased a home compost maker from NatureMill online (http://www.naturemill.com). It takes most of our food waste and turns it into rich soil within a few weeks.
