Food Scrap Recycling for Condos and Apartments
Food scrap recycling is now available for qualified apartment and condominium complexes!
Recycling our food scraps and food-soiled paper reduces waste and greenhouse gases, saves landfill space, and provides a rich resource to our community. Food scraps and food-soiled paper break down into compost, a soil amendment that enriches soil and improves plant health.
Food recycling saves you money too! Recyclable food and compostable material typically make up 30% of your garbage that goes to the landfill. By recycling your food, you can reduce the size of your garbage container and save money.
