How to use your compost pail:
- Keep your compost kitchen pail in a convenient location such as your counter, under the sink, or in the freezer. Use it to collect food scraps and any food-soiled paper.
- Empty your pail into your green bin outside.
- Recology will haul your green waste material away and turn it into compost!
Tips To Prevent Odors:
- Line your pail with newspaper or paper bags (“compostable” & regular plastic bags are not accepted in residential carts).
- Empty pail regularly and rinse with soap (dishwasher safe) and water weekly to minimize buildup and smells.
- Freeze spoiled foods until collection day.
- Pests will not be an issue as long as you regularly empty and clean your kitchen pail and keep your green bin outside closed.
What can be Composted:
Food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard trimmings can be placed in the compost bin.
