Recycle your food scraps on trash day. Small startups and large municipal organizations are stepping up to keep organic waste out of landfills and they’re making it super easy for you.
Tools:
- CompoKeeper (for collecting food waste in the kitchen)
- Curbside bin (to be collected by waste haulers)
Basic Steps:
- Check with your local municipality to see if they offer a service for the weekly or biweekly collection of food waste for composting.
- Learn what items your municipality will and will not accept for composting.
- Collect food waste and compostable items in your kitchen with the CompoKeeper compost bin.
- Once a week, or as needed, empty the contents of the CompoKeeper into your curbside bin.
- Figure out which day of the week the composting service is available and remember to pull your curbside bin out for collection.
