• Scrape it - Scrape leftover food scraps (fruits, veggies, coffee grounds) into your food waste scrap container.
• Collect it - Place food scraps in your scrap container, lined with your compostable bag to prevent odors and leaks. The City will provide one 5-gallon bucket, one indoor kitchen scraps container, and a small quantity of compostable bags.
• Drop it off - Head to Jim Ward Community Center during operating hours. Locate the drop off bin adjacent to the community garden.
• Unload it - Enter the provided code (code will be provided after registration) into the keypad on the food waste container to deposit your food scrap.
• Feel good! You've diverted food waste from landfills and contributed to a greener community.

Acceptable biodegradable compost bags to be used:

• BioBag - also available on Amazon
• EcoSafe - also available on Amazon

The food waste container will be inspected for excessive contamination. If food waste containers are found to have excessive contamination, the City reserves the right to deny access/terminate participation in the
program to anyone habitually depositing contaminated materials.

 Unacceptable waste items belong with your normal trash or bulk waste.
