We got a little unit in a block of flats in north-east Adelaide City. The building doesn't have a green bin pick-up. Is there anywhere close by we can donate our food scraps to? Happy to travel a bit if need be.

Also, does anyone remember an app or site where people listed their backyard composts that food waste could be donated to?

By the way, the picture is from the net.

I thought councils provided green waste bins for everyone throughout Adelaide

There’s a community garden in Veale Gardens on South Terrace, they might take kitchen waste

Council got back to me. They say our building will get green bins in four to six weeks. Everyone will get caddies and so on. Considering I've seen that waste and recycling tend to end up in the same large dumpster bins (due to building's use of chutes) I don't see how this is going to work. We'll see.

Yeah ok. You may have to carry it down to the basement? Not exactly convenient.

I don't mind. We used to do that in our old flat in Sydney.
