Works better than I thought
I live in Boulder, CO, which as the article states has both curbside recycling and composting programs. I was skeptical at first, but I have to admit they work well. My regular trash has shrunk down to about a third of a large trash bag from filling it up each week. And I used to put all my yard clippings in with my regular trash (about two full bags each week), and that's also been diverted from landfills.
On the downside is cost, which is $49.50 per month. I need the largest capacity, for people using less they can get smaller containers with a reduced cost. The program is mandatory for everyone. And you have to sort and manage three different categories of stuff.
