Single Family Residential – Organics

Each residential household is provided with a 95-gallon cart and a food scrap pail. Organic service is provided on a weekly basis. The Organics Recycling Program accepts all types of green waste including

• grass and weed clippings
• shrub and tree prunings
• leaves

Residents may simply place their food scrap in a brown paper bag, wrap it in newspaper, or place it in a waxed carton such as a milk or ice cream carton and place full containers right into your organics cart.
