What Goes in Your Kitchen Compost Bin? (and how to keep it clean and odour-free)

Описание: Kitchen waste and your organics cart 101 | Tips and best practices for managing your kitchen waste and keeping your organics cart clean

Top 5 tips to keep your kitchen compost bin fresh:
1) Use paper bags - plastic-type compostable/biodegradable bags are NOT PERMITTED in the Province of BC.
2) Remove produce stickers - these do not break down and contaminate our compost.
3) Freeze extra smelly food scraps until collection day to reduce odours.
4) Layer your organics cart with yard waste to reduce odours and avoid attracting wildlife and insects.
5) Rinse your cart every now and then to keep it fresh!
