We have district garbage collection and district heating all in one company. The chimney is filtered, so supposedly only water (and ashes) comes out.

I use the food waste bin for stuff like meat and eggs which I don’t want on my own compost, because it attracts rats. I mainly compost vegetables and fruit myself. I sometimes drive my hedge clippings to the recycling station just to get rid of it. They have a really large compost area and also allows me to bring back their mulch from previous years on the same trip. It would be better to have space to do this composting myself, but my house is in the center of a city, so I simply don’t have the space.
