What's the most environmentally-friendly way to get rid of food scraps?
We live in a foresty neighborhood where there are lots of critters running around: chipmunks, squirrels, mice, opossum, raccoons, foxes… My roommate says it’s a bad idea to throw food scraps out into the bushes because a) it’s bad to feed the animals and b) it’ll attract rodents to our house and make them more likely to try to get inside. I feel so wasteful just throwing scraps in the trash. And we rent so we wouldn’t be able to start a full-fledged compost pile. Ideas?
Composting is a great idea, and doable.
There are many different types of compost bins.
Even if you rent, your landlord would probably allow you the space to have a small barrell style composter.
In fact some metropolitan areas have programs where you can get composters from the city.

You are pretty darn nice! I would continue to feed the animals, just not close to the house, 100 yards away would be fine.
