What CAN go in the Organics Program?
Only food items can be composted in our organics system.
  • Baked goods
  • Coffee grounds and filters
  • Cooked food
  • Dairy products
  • Eggs and shells
  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Leftover food
  • Meat, fish and bones
  • Tea bags

Please use paper bags or newspaper to wrap your organics, or better yet, leave them loose and place your unwanted food items directly in the Moloks or your green bin.

What CANNOT go in the Organics Program?
No biodegradable, compostable or plastic bags.        

  • Paper towel, tissue, napkins
  • Kitty litter
  • Dog feces
  • Food still in its container/wrapping
  • Sanitary products, diapers
  • "Compostable" plastic products

Any of the above products may result in our organics loads being rejected from the composting facility.  This could result in fines, and require the load to be sent to the landfill.  Please help us ensure this program can continue.

Organics Tips

Organics Tips

Odour Control

  • You may use store bought paper liners, or simply use newspaper
  • Freezing meat and bones (or other stinky items) until collection day will help reduce smells

Bug Patrol

  • Keep fruit flies at bay by keeping lids tightly shut, emptying often, and rinsing frequently with vinegar
