Glad you are composting! We have one tiny city garbage bin for 4 people- compost is awesome.
+1 and you still will have cooked veggies mixed with oil/fat that should not be composted. You could use a mesh drain, but your trashbin would stink, unless you take it out every night. We have both.
Who doesn't take out their kitchen trash every night? Something in there always stinks!
We only take the bag out on garbage day. We compost food waste, I would hate to use extra bags when it is not full. Our kitchen garbage has a lid. Nothing stinks. We do not have much actual food in there thinking about it.
+1. Only take out when full, otherwise wasting. You fill up a whole bag in a day? With what?

Why do you not compost your oil/cooked veggies? I don’t have a large enough yard for home composting but I hope to soon and am curious about this.

Disposals are ridiculous burdens on water, sewer, electricity AND lost compostage. This is why they are illegal in many major US cities (including NYC).
