Food waste


Edible food, of course, belongs in the stomach. The rest should be sorted into the brown food waste bag to be transformed into biogas and biofertilizer.

YES: Banana peels, eggshells, meat scraps, corn cobs, potato peels, seafood scraps, coffee filters, and tea bags.
NO: Cat litter, dog poop bags, chewing gum, potted plants, soil, popsicle sticks, cigarettes, and snus. Remember, plastic doesn't belong in food waste!

Tips!

  • To avoid overflow, fold down the edge along the line on your food waste bag.
  • To keep the bag dry, place a piece of kitchen paper at the bottom.
  • You can find new food waste bags at your waste station or in the bulky waste station.
