    Did you know that you can drop off your frozen compostable items at various public libraries in Orleans Parish?  I dropped mine off this morning at the Rosa Keller library.  You can too - any Saturday morning between 10:30 and 12:00.  Hubbell Library on Algiers Point on Saturday afternoons from 2:00-3:30.  Other libraries collect on various days at special times.  I will post a link when i find it.
