The Food Scrap Drop-off can accept:
- All food scraps, raw or cooked, including meat, bones, dairy, and shells from shellfish.
- A number of food-soiled paper products like pizza boxes, paper towels, paper napkins and unlined paper plates like those in the Chinet-style.
- Plastics certified as compostable by BPI so long as the items are individually labeled as “compostable.”
Items that are compostable but not accepted at the Food Scrap Drop-off include yard waste, pet waste, compostable diapers, and large amounts of clean and dry cardboard suitable for recycling back into cardboard.
Leave out anything that is plastic, metal or glass, including all plastic packaging, and plastic bags and paper cups that do not specifically say “compostable” on them.
