Blair - If I understand your question, you are asking if there are staffed drop-offs for food scraps? I am only aware of one, true drop-off center for food scraps, operated by Eco-Cycle in Boulder at the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHARM). One can drive up and drop-off a banana peel or the week's food scraps. Many (though not all) compost facilities which take food scraps may be open to public drop-off of food scraps. I've seen this happen at the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (Duluth, MN) food scraps composting facility where large generators (like a fish-processor) will self-haul food scraps for drop off at the compost facility. I imagine other compst facilities which accept food scraps would also allow public drop-off. Eco-Cycle and a few Whole Food stores also have food scraps recycling containers at key locations (the Boulder Farmer's market in the case of Eco-Cycle and outside of their stores in the public eating areas in the case of some Whole Food stores) Inside the food court at the Mexico City airport also has food scrap recycling containers. These are more like traditional recycling containers than drop-offs, but the result is the same. I'm sure there are other examples. Is that what you meant?
