These program-specific food scrap bags are required to participate in the program. Other bags sold in stores or online will not be identified for separation and may not withstand the trip in a garbage truck.

Collect your food scraps in the food scrap bag. Once a week, or when the food scrap bag is full, tie the bag shut with a knot (like you would a balloon). Place your food scrap bags inside your trash cart or dumpster for collection.
