Restaurants and grocery stores throw out so much food so it's nice to see they are included in the ban. I know more and more stores do send the fruits and veg to compost people but I bet all the packaged food still gets tossed... a good place to use material recovery machines. I keep a big tupperware bowl in the freezer and put all the compost in there. Sure it does take up freezer space but it helps prevent hoarding so it evens out, I'm not sure why it's not advocated as a solution locally, most people I know have too much old stuff in the freezer that should be green-binned.
