How to get started
- Use an ice cream bucket, coffee container or yogurt tub, or purchase a kitchen countertop organics container. Line the container with a certified compostable bag. (see below where to get your certified bags)
- Vent the lid on the container to reduce odor.
- Line your container with the bag and begin collecting food scraps and non recyclable papers. (Using bags makes it easier to transport the organics from your home to the drop-off location and helps reduce odor and pests. See the list of acceptable items below. Loose food scraps are not accepted.)
