Your Green Cart

Turn your food scraps and yard trimmings into

compost by putting them in your Green Cart.

The contents of your cart are picked up weekly

and taken to a regional composting facility where

they are turned into high-quality compost for use

by landscapers and farmers.

How to use your Green Cart

Tips for keeping it clean

Line your Green Cart

with newspaper or

large kraft paper

bags.

Freeze food scraps,

such as those from

meat or fish, until

collection day.

1 Collect your food scraps and food-soiled paper in your Kitchen Catcher. You may place your green waste in a paper bag (e.g. Bag to Earth) or wrap it in newspaper, but do not use plastic bags (not even biodegradable, compostable and recyclable ones ).

3 Add in yard trimmings.

2 Empty the Kitchen Catcher into your Green Cart.

4 Once a week on your designated collection day, unlock the wildlife- resistant clips and move your Green Cart to the curb for collection.
