In some cities, this practice is fostered by free recycling and pay-per-container waste removal. So you can actually save money by doing what's right. It's too bad there isn't a larger focus on composting--I think this accounts for as much waste as recycling (well, at least in our house, which is vegan--so everything we use to prepare food is compostable). This is something that's really easy to do if you live in a house, but not very easy in apartments/condos/urban settings in general. Strange that cities don't just collect this like yard waste. In any case, it's too bad that more people don't have the discipline/concern to limit themselves to 1 bag per week like you guys. (And kudos to those of you who do!) Way to rock it!

This is usually what Val and I try to keep to, or 1 bag for longer than a week (but without a compost some food things can get quite foul).
