Food Waste Curbside Collection
Have your food waste picked up curbside and turned into compost!
The Department of Public Works has partnered with Black Earth Compost to offer curbside composting to help divert more food waste from the trash stream.
Residents who sign up for this program will have food waste picked up on a weekly basis at their home for a fee. Pricing is based on a tiered fee structure and requires a six-month initial commitment.
The first 250 residents who sign up for Black Earth Compost will receive a free toter bin (a $36 value). The more households that sign up, the lover the monthly subscription fee. To sign up, go to www.blackearthcompost.com
