I love all of these creative and community oriented solutions to reduce trash - and we’ve done them! Hopefully this thread proves useful for future folks searching for this issue.
Even up until this point, we’ve had members contributing to the research on trash compactors. :) The issue - and why I’m asking here instead of our members - is that so far we haven't find any reviews or reports on how the compactors we’ve found hold up to higher volume usage. We’re at the point where we have a completely reasonable amount of trash being generated for 100+ people in the space daily. I’m just looking to reduce the amount of space it takes up until it’s removed. -Alex Alex, This issue is RIPE for your community to Indyhallify it! If you can name a goddamn street and start a farmer's market then the community can most certainly figure out how to reduce its trash. It'll likely take some work in mind-shifting around what's okay to bring into the space. First, what composes the bulk of your non recyclable, non compostable waste? Is it throw-away coffee cups that members are bringing in from their morning commutes? Is it plastic wrap or ziploc bags or what?? Find the source of the trash, then reorient as a community :) Hell, I might even go so far as to collect a week's worth of trash and put it in the lobby. I believe in you all.
