Composting In New York

I read an interesting article in the New York Times. In class we mentioned the option of having a composting area on campus and how to compost in general. The development for composting in a highly populated city like New York. Individual bins have been created for household use almost like a small garbage can that contains the smell of compost. These individual bins are then disposed of in large bins that are outside which are well protected from wildlife that would try snack on the left over food. According to  the article, "100,000 households in New York that are now required to put their organic garbage into designated bins".
