I wonder if we'll reach the stage of the gig economy where there's an "uber-for-X" for composting, to connect home owners' backyard compost bins to environmentally-minded apartment dwellers to dump their food scraps. It probably won't work given the number of actual composting companies around, but "it probably won't work" hasn't stopped plenty of gig-apps before

i haven't run across any uber-for-compost startups yet, but there are definitely a bunch of 'circular economy' companies trying to do stuff with food waste (a cool one in the UK is bio-bean, they recycle coffee grounds into home fire logs: https://www.bio-bean.com/elements/coffee-logs-and-retailers/)
