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
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
Go the extra mile in composting and collect the everyday compostables around your home. Review your personal hygiene routine and supplies for opportunities to compost.
> All certified compostable products
> Eco-friendly business cards
> flyers, printed materials, etc.
> Finger and toenail clippings
> Hair trimmings
> Pet food
> Household plants and soil
