Seriously, yes. I'm heartened to hear that this is being discussed at higher, coordinated levels. Right now I'm trying compost in a rotating bin I bought for this rental place because the landlord will not pay for food waste pickup even though it's offered in our area (they also expect six units to share a single home sized recycle bin that's picked up once every two weeks 🙄). We need a system change and stop leaving it up to individuals to figure it out on our own.
