Other notes
- Clean packaging foam and foam coolers are accepted. Remove tape, labels, paper, metal and plastic fasteners. No foam peanuts or construction insulation. Food-service polystyrene is excluded unless new and never in contact with food or drink.
- Put food scraps in the designated green compost carts, not foam bins. City examples include fruit, vegetables, grains, pasta, coffee grounds, eggshells, dairy and cooked meat. No pet waste, glass, metal, ordinary plastic, electronics, Styrofoam or personal-care products in compost.
- The compost FAQ is qualified: raw meat, bones, seafood and shellfish are case-by-case, while another line mentions the community compostery. Ask the program before including these rather than assuming every item is accepted at these carts. BPI-certified service ware requires written approval.
- All complimentary city compost buckets have been assigned. The city allows any personal bucket and says the service is open to all residents; this listing does not require or perform a signup.
- Outdoor 24/7 availability must not be applied to indoor electronics bins. The Service Center is a recycling hub, not a household garbage transfer station.
