People may just throw all kinds of garbage and those not suitable to be contributed, hence littering the area.

The smell and convenience of the compost bins. I wouldn’t take a bus with a bag of compost to the nearest compost bin.

Inconvenience if the location happens to be far. Am I supposed to just accumulate my food waste for a week and then make a bulk trip?

vegetable scraps, egg shells, stale bread, coffee grounds, tea bags etc. Since we cook and eat in often, we do generate a fair bit of food waste.

Location of community garden must be convenient to encourage everyday singaporeans to participate. One potential angle is that the community garden can be a joint initiative with the RCs.

Hygiene
Your team might want to do a case study of electronic waste collection in singapore and analyse what worked well for them & where there are rooms for improvement. I realise that there is some similarity in the overall concept except that food waste is som

I fear having some inconsiderate people spoiling the entire batch of compost and that will demoralise people and subsequently, stop people from wanting to continue with this project.

May not have the time to go often, and food may spoil/rot before going.

My household don't generate that much food waste, if I have to estimate, maybe 1.5 regular plastic bag worth of waste per week?
In response to "What issues do you foresee while trying to contribute your food waste to the community composting initiative?"
At initial stage, the number of 'bins' set up would be small - inconvenience and travelling might deter people (especially if they have to carry the food waste and eg. take public transport)
I think the project is great - most of us want to do something related to our food waste but may not have the tools/expertise to do so. Making it community based also encourages participation :)) looking forward to seeing it happen around my HDB

Food smell and decay
Great initiative. Can consider how you would like to partner with community gardening initiatives and other grassroot initiatives to see how you can tap on existing infrastructure to take your project to the next level? All the best!
