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
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
