What is considered litter?

I have a worm composting bin right in my kitchen. Most of our kitchen refuse goes in there, and three months later I get rich worm castings in return, which I use as fertilizer in my garden. I can't believe how much less gets thrown out in the trash (and off to the landfill) now. People can do this even in apartments, with a little rubbermaid tub under their sink, under the bed, or in a closet.

I'm pretty sure I could not have a compost anything in my kitchen. We have really aggressive ants here in San Diego and it's a constant battle as it is.

I'll look into composters through our local waste management company, though. A friend told me that a nearby city was doing something similar to what Trek mentioned, so maybe ours is, too.
