My garden at the moment consists of a clump of chives at the edge of an otherwise vacant window box. But that's no reason not to collect my food scraps! As I cook throughout the week, I toss my rinds, peels, egg shells, coffee grinds, and so on into a little trash can. When it's about full, I hop on my bike and drop off the organic matter at the Union Square Greenmarket. The Lower East Side Ecology Center has a compost stand at the market that accepts everyone's organic waste and turns it into nutrient-rich dirt that they use for their own garden, and also bag and sell at the farmer's market as a way to support the center. I imagine many farmer's markets around the country have similar programs, or if not, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a farmer, gardener, or swine who would happily make use of your food scraps.
