Can we talk about the composting bins at the farmers market?

I was at the Sunday market in Portland and saw a pile of food scraps next to the bins because nobody knew which bin was for what. The labels were tiny and faded. How do we get cities to make these setups actually usable for regular people?

I was at that exact same market last month and stood there staring at the bins like a confused toddler for a solid three minutes lol. The labels are like written in size 2 font with a sharpie from 1995. Honestly I feel like they just need to slap a big green sticker that says "VEGGIES GO HERE" and a brown one that says "EVERYTHING ELSE" and call it a day. Maybe throw in a giant picture of a carrot for the people who don't read. It can't be that hard to make it idiot proof.
