You should check to see if your city, county, (or however you handle local government demarcation) has a composting program of some kind.

I live in an apartment and I’m able to drop off my compost at designated composting spots provided by the city on the weekend.

You may also have a composting organization or a local community garden that composts that will happily take your scraps to add to their larger composting pile.

FYI many federal employees are part of unions (with some exceptions)

Love a Shel Silverstein reference.

This can’t be a real park. How would you even get to the waterslides, what stair system would work with this?

Browning the butter for the win.
