How I Collect Food Scraps for Compost in my NYC Apartment | Lucie Fink

"COMPOSTING" AT HOME (notice the parenthesis because I'm not actually creating compost): HOW TO START A COMPOST PILE AND COLLECT YOUR FOOD SCRAPS AT HOME FOR COMMERCIAL COMPOSTING. Looking for a good wireless computer mouse? Here's my MX Anywhere 3 mouse from Logitech: logi.link/logimx3
Learn how to get started with composting right in your own kitchen, and also learn what you can and can’t compost!
*LITERLESS: WHERE TO COMPOST IN THE UNITED STATES: www.litterless.com/wheretocom...
I live in a Manhattan apartment, and it truly doesn’t matter how large your space is - anyone can collect their food scraps and help create compost. If you live in NYC and want to find a food scrap drop-off site near you, check this out: www.grownyc.org/compost
I’ve done a ton of research on some of the best ways to get started as a beginner, and I am excited to show you my progress on this new environmentally friendly habit. I am going to show you how simple it is to start a composting “bin” of your own no matter the size of your place! No large backyard needed!
As you’ve seen on my channel, I’ve been working on implementing small changes to help move towards a more sustainable lifestyle and this has been a great way to keep up with that. And the best part, ANYONE who’s interested in sustainable living or low-waste living can do this, too!
So here’s the deal. Whenever you throw away organic materials, it goes off into a landfill. The decomposition process within the landfill leads to methane emissions in the air - methane is a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change…no thank you! You can help cut down the amount of waste in these landfills by composting your organic material.
There are various ways to compost...the two I’ve learned most about are backyard composting or commercial composting. Backyard composting keeps everything right in your backyard where you can actually oversee the entire composting process and then use your compost for personal reasons like gardening! Through commercial composting, you’re collecting your food scraps and materials at home, and then dropping them off at a third party site that will bring them to a commercial composting facility! Since I live in New York City space is a little limited, commercial composting is the route for me. (I hope to start a backyard composting bin in my future!)

    I love how this channel is a journey to make life happier and more ethical one step at a time. I recently started a compost outside in my family backyard and now everybody in the family has joined in and it's one awesome project! Excellent video as always Lucie and I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that you can convince your dad to do your voiceover for a storytime soon! :)

    I’m using my vegetable food scraps to make into a vegetable stock with my instant pot. Before composting you should consider doing that, Lucie. You can even use skins of things like onion and garlic. It will just give the broth a darker color. I use vegetable stock in practically everything I cook. You can even use it instead of oil when you sauté veggies.

    Thank you for sharing and I just wanted to share that where I live in Canada 🇨🇦 everyone in the city composts and have a compost bin in there houses. There is a truck that comes to get our compost every week and here you can actually get fined if you put food waste in the normal trash. Just wanted to share! Thanks Lucie great video ❤️❤️❤️

I love this so much! Thank you Lucy! I was motivated now I’m even more! And I had no idea commercial compositing was a thing! Love love love this!

    We have been meaning to start composting forever! Your video inspired us to finally go forward with it. Just signed up for a curbside pick up program in CT 🌱

    I love this! Never thought about adding toilet paper or paper towel rolls to my compost! Would love to see you make an outside compost in the future when you get a house/more outside land!

    I live in a city where we don't have a compost program. I had no idea that there may be places that I could drop off my compost. I looked it up, after this video, and sure enough, I have a few options!! Thanks for the idea!

    So cool! It's awesome that you can do this in an apartment. What's the best way to keep the odor down in a small space? I'm also excited to hear that you are working on dad does my v/o! When will that video come out?

    We live on property and we compost by keeping a small lidded bucket under the sink. We empty it as needed or when it gets too odoriferous. We have The worms came on their own. We use the dirt and till it into plant holes. Works wonderfully.

    I've got a compost bin outside but I really need to get a bin for inside so i don't have to go out as often. being disabled with a compost bin is doable but man are there days when i just don't want to do it
