A pilot program in Arlington County, Virginia, launched in July 2024 aims to increase food scraps collection in multi-family housing units. Fourteen "smart" bins have been placed in areas with high concentrations of multi-family buildings, with participants using the Bigbelly Smart Compost app to locate and unlock the bins. The program has seen over 4,000 pounds of food scraps and food-soiled paper collected monthly since its inception, with outreach efforts including posters, social media campaigns, and signage on buses. The pilot will run until July 2025 to assess collection viability, container performance, and participation levels. [Extracted from the article]
