• SEPARATE     
• While preparing meals or when cleaning the refrigerator, separate any food scraps and always scrape any extra food from your plate into the compost bin.

• COLLECT 
• Use a kitchen pail, a reusable plastic tub or any compostable paper container such as take-out boxes or paper bags. 
• Include food-soiled paper such as coffee cups and filters, paper plates, napkins, paper towels, waxed/parchment paper, and take-out containers. 
• Freezing food scraps or wrapping them in newspaper can prevent leaks and odors.

• EMPTY
  • Empty food scraps, food-soiled paper and plant debris into green organics bin. 
  • By collecting food scraps, we'll reduce waste and create compost for local farms and gardens.
