The most pressing problem I currently have with my project at the moment is the size of the bins that will be used to hold the food scraps and worms. Below is the reccomended size of bin needed for 2 peoples food scraps over 1 week. (Water bottle for scale.) This size seems way too big to me and I do not believe that this is the actual size.
To find out how much space people actually need for their food scraps I decided to run a test of my own. I created a chart that will tell me how many people contributed to filling up the pot, the number of times the pot was filled and what went into the pot. I bought 40 2L containers and handed them out to my Industrial class and co-workers at my job.
Once I get the pots back in 1 weeks I can divided the pots filled by the number of people working on that specific pot to get and average of how much food scraps people generate.
