Frequently Asked Questions

What can I put in my bin?

keyboard_arrow_down

"Food and fiber" is an easy way to remember. If it was edible, it goes in. Napkins, flowers, egg shells, and coffee grinds are all welcome, as well. Please no charcoal, animal/human feces or urine, or excessive amounts of liquids. Visit this page for a comprehensive list of what can and cannot go in your bucket.

Yes, absolutely, as long as you empty your materials into our bin when you put it out for collection.

What do I do with my bin on pick-up day?

Place it outside your door or at the end of your driveway the night before your pick-up day. We will empty it between 6 AM and 7 PM on your scheduled day.

Will my bin smell?
