What are compostables?
Compostables are organic materials that will naturally decompose quickly and can be used for enhancing and conditioning soil. These materials include fruit and vegetable scraps, meat and bones, coffee grounds and teabags, food-soiled or waxed cardboard, compostable containers, and plant materials.
Remember, compostable materials collection varies by area, due to wildlife issues or housing density. Click on Residential Services to determine which area you live in or call us at 303-444-2037.
