I'm cautiously optimistic about the USAID, HHS, IRS, Dept of Education changes. But the USPS should be given the support it needs to succeed. IIUC, it is self-funded, except for a recent change to how it needs to account for retirement pensions (pre-self-funding them, all at once). Maybe if this retirement fund was bailed out, as a one-time thing, it would be solvent long-term.

these big municipal composting operations can take pretty much anything that used to be alive, including dairy, meat, and bones (and paper that can't be recycled, like pizza boxes). When I lived in a place that had it, we put all that stuff in.

But, there, we could also go on certain days, and pick up the resulting compost, for use in our garden. Because we had (a small) one. I agree, that if people don't see a use for the compost, they are unlikely to buy into it.
