100% Food Waste

Collect food in a small bowl or container that you can empty into your bin a couple of times a day. Here are a few things we recommend…

  • Fruit and veggie scraps
  • Pasta, bread, and grains
  • Coffee grounds and filters
  • Teabags
  • Nut and eggshells
  • Dairy
  • Meat and fish (yes, bones too!)
  • Herbs and spices
A table topped with lots of different foods.

Food Soiled Paper

Non-food products can also be added to your compost bin, but please be careful. If you aren’t 100% sure it is compostable, try putting it in your recycling bin instead. Here are a few things that generally pass the test…

  • Paper napkins and plates
  • Paper towels and the roll
  • Toilet paper rolls
  • Paper fast food packaging
  • Pizza boxes
  • Muffin wrappers
A box with some paper bags on it
