If you need a refresher on a few key points, here are some important things to know:
 
WHAT GOES WHERE:

COMPOST: Green bins.

• Food waste – YES meat, seafood, dairy, bones are all okay
• SOILED paper and cardboard. YES waxed paper and cardboard like milk cartons and tea bags are okay.  NO soy/nut milk boxes with plastic on them are not.
• Production or Vendor-provided cutlery (cups, plates, all utensils – including coffee and beer cups).  If in doubt, it should say “Compostable” on it.
• Untreated wood, landscaping: e.g., a bamboo fork.  If production delivers wood to the dumpsters, it should have all nails/screws removed. If it is untreated, it goes in compost.
