My kitchen trash got way lighter after June 2023

I used to just throw away every food scrap without a second thought, like carrot peels or eggshells. Then I started collecting them in a bag in the freezer and dropping them off at the community compost bin downtown every Sunday. Has anyone else found it hard to get started with keeping compost out of the landfill?

Did the freezer bag smell startle you at first? I found that sealing it tight and freezing scraps right away stopped the rot smell dead. What’s your trick for remembering to take it every Sunday without fail?

Ha, yeah the freezer bag smell got me good the first time... I thought something died in my fridge. I set a weekly alarm on my phone called "Scraps or You're a Slob" and it somehow works. My memory's so bad I'd forget my own head if it wasn't attached, so the alarm is a lifesaver.
