Thought city composting pickup was a scam, then I weighed my bin for 90 days
I signed up in Denver mostly to get the smaller trash can, but my food scraps bin averaged 11 pounds a week and my garbage dropped to one bag. Has anyone else actually tracked the weight, or am I the only nerd with a kitchen scale out here?

Did your food scraps really weigh that much every week? My buddy in Portland did the same thing for like two months and his bin came in around 9 or 10 pounds most weeks, mostly coffee grounds and banana peels from his smoothie habit. He said his trash went down to one small bag too, and he stopped buying those big boxes of bags. The scale thing sounds nerdy but it honestly made him keep with it.
