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.
