Liners
Leave bin or kitchen caddy liner untied. Food scraps cannot be properly breakdown when in a tied bag. This requires our composting team to tear each bag apart, lengthening the composting processing time and increasing the workload on our team.
Avoid double bagging. Instead of using an extra bag, try adding cardboard or newspaper to the bottom of your bin to collect moisture.
Large Produce
Cutting up large produce helps to make sure it fits in your bin. It also helps the food scraps to break down in the compost piles!
Each Fall, we receive an influx of pumpkins. Stay tuned for updates on pumpkin collections.
Use Compostables
Key Compostables is a Compost Crew company that offers affordable BPI and TUV certified products like cups, utensils, plates, take-out containers and more!
No Wax-lined Items
Wax lined paper products such as ice cream containers and fast food containers are lined with petroleum based plastic coating. While the paper itself is compostable, the wax lining is not. Check your local recycling requirements to see if you can recycle it instead!
Break it Down
We love cardboard boxes and egg cartons because they provide a great source of carbon source for our piles.
We love them even more when they are already torn apart!
