Read the passage and answer the question.

Community composting initiatives divert household food scraps from landfill by collecting them at neighbourhood hubs rather than relying solely on individual backyard bins. Volunteers or paid coordinators turn the accumulated material, monitor moisture, and eventually distribute finished compost back to participating households and local gardens. Proponents argue that centralizing the process produces compost of more consistent quality than scattered home efforts, since experienced coordinators can correct imbalances that novice composters often miss. The model also suits residents of apartments who lack outdoor space for their own bins. Nonetheless, uptake has been slower in some areas because the hubs require reliable transport of scraps, and residents without cars or nearby drop-off points often abandon participation within a few months.

What does the passage suggest is a limitation on the spread of community composting?
