Residential organics drop-offs

How to participate

Sign up to the drop-off nearest you by clicking one of the links below. You will receive an email after signing up that contains the code to the locks at the drop-off locations. Begin collecting organics in compostable bags (paper or plastic) from your kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Bring your bagged organics to the drop-off site, unlock the cart and place your organics inside. Please re-lock the cart after use to prevent contamination from others not participating in the drop-off program. See our Home Setup Tips web page more information on getting started collecting organics in your home.

How does it work?

Residents must sign up by clicking a link below. Within a day of signing up, residents will be sent a welcome email with instructions, and then they can drop off organics at their selected location.
