Zero Waste Apartment FAQ
Does composting in an apartment smell?
Not if done correctly! Bokashi fermentation is airtight, and well-managed worm bins smell like fresh earth. Avoid adding dairy, meat, or large amounts of citrus to keep it odor-free.
Is zero waste living expensive?
Actually, it often saves money. By thrifting furniture, making your own cleaners, and reducing waste, you’ll find your monthly expenses dropping significantly over time.
