We don’t compost ourselves but our town in MA offers free “vegan” composting dumpsters (no animal or dairy products allowed). Our compost pile always looks so vibrant and beautiful. And going to a good cause - more plants/veggies!
That is indeed pretty compost. You have good looking garbage. Even without the actual trash and meat/seafood byproducts, my veggie scraps pile can be pretty frightening. I just threw out 2 pears that went bad (like black spots bad), and about half of a remaining pack of celery that went oozy 
. I really don’t try to leave my food in there that long, but this thing got buried under a bag of carrots and a few types of herbs and greens. Oops…
My parents have always composted and I have too since moving out of a tiny apartment. We have a 2 zone system that works well for us. I’m always encouraging people to start. It is so easy!
