Communities are provided with, or can provide their own, compost receptacles that they fill with plant and food remains, which are then emptied on a regular basis. Programs such as this allow communities to be an active part of composting their green waste which allows them to play an active role in decreasing the amount of food being dumped into local and regional landfills.
The passage describes a system where communities are empowered to manage their own composting efforts, either through provided bins or self-managed systems. This approach aims to decrease the amount of food waste going to landfills by encouraging active participation from local communities.
