Compostable

List

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

An assortment of high-protein foods including eggs, salmon, beef, chicken, cheese, nuts, chickpeas, avocado, spinach, broccoli, chia seeds, and cottage cheese arranged on a wooden surface.

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
