Feast smart, use your cart! As you celebrate this holiday season, please remember to compost. When you have food scraps and expired leftovers, toss them into your green compost cart. This helps create compost, a valuable resource that farmers, landscapers, and gardeners can use to grow healthy food and reduce greenhouse gases. For a reminder of what’s acceptable for your green cart, check out our Composting Guide.
To start composting right from your kitchen, simply gather your food scraps and soiled paper items into a compost pail and then toss them into your green cart. Free countertop compost pails are available from Republic Services by completing an online form.
If you're hosting a holiday gathering, don't forget to have composting and recycling bins easily accessible for your guests.
Thanks for doing your part to reduce food waste and create a climate ready Fremont!
