To participate, you will sign up online or via phone <br />to receive an annual supply of thick, compostable bags that will be shipped to your home at no charge. You’ll use these <br />bags to collect your food scraps. Once a bag is full, you’ll place it in your regular trash can, and trash will be collected as usual. <br />The bags will be mechanically separated from the trash after collection so that they can be composted. <br />This new program is part of a larger system for managing food scraps. County food scraps drop-off sites will remain <br />in operation, and some people may prefer to compost food scraps in their backyards. Do what works best for you! <br />Stay tuned for updates.
