Put the compost in your OWN yard.
Get a compost bin or put an enclosure around it to keep the dogs out. We planted flowers around ours. You can also compost by burying in the flower beds if you are talking about kitchen waste like potato peels, etc.
Find someone, like a farm who buys chemicals in large plastic barrels, They'll usually give them to you for free, so they don't have to pay for disposal. cut the top of it off. Use them for composting.
In your yard! and remeber always bury it! It can serve as fertilizer! If it stinks, concot a sweet smelling colongne using natural stuff and put some of it on the place of the compost pit.
