I found 2 resources I believe I can trust. There is a snopes article that lays out the basics.
Plus a local NPR station podcast in San Francisco that goes over the whole document in 13 episodes. I’m only two episodes in so far.
I don’t think I actually want to read the 900+ page document.
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.
