Yard and Food Waste Collection

Why compost yard and food waste?

Did you know that up to 30% of commercial garbage is composed of food and compostable material?

You can reduce that percentage by signing up for Yard and Food Waste Collection. Instead of sending food scraps and food-soiled paper products to the landfill, Yard + Food Waste Collection turns them into compost. And composting may save you money on your garbage bill!
