Thoughts on Food Waste Storage & Transport

• Most people have a food waste container in their kitchens - whatever size is best for you.
• Depending on how much waste you have, you may want to empty your kitchen container into a larger transportation container with a tight sealing lid that can be stored in a garage, closet or outside.
• Compostable bags make for easier handling & clean-up. BioBag brand is the ONLY one we can accept.
• Reuse plastic coffee containers or other containers that are ½ -2 gallons in size for your kitchen caddy.
• Reuse a clean kitty litter, food service, or home improvement bucket as your transportation container.

Trouble with Odors?

Most food waste has very little odor and when transferred to a container with a tight fitting lid is virtually odor free.  But if you do start to notice an odor:

• Sprinkle baking soda on top of food scraps.
• Keep your transportation container outdoors or garaged and consider dropping off more frequently during the summer months.
• Freeze meat and dairy until your next trip to the market.
