Food Scraps Collection

Food scraps can be recycled into valuable compost. Here’s what’s accepted and not accepted in your Yard Trimmings & Food Scraps Cart:

* Recycle at an alternate recycling depot.
** Call animal services.

TIP: Kitchen catchers or a plastic container with a lid are handy to temporarily store your food scraps in before emptying into the yard trimmings and food scraps cart. Lining with newspaper or brown paper bags helps make cleaning up easier.
