No, we can only collect what is in the designated bucket and the grant funds allow us to provide one bucket per participating household. Please use the food waste drop-off locations throughout the city for any additional food waste.
By using the provided liner, the buckets should stay relatively clean. You can rinse and dry your bucket between collections.
Yard waste is collected separately by Local Waste on your regular trash collection day. However, small amounts of grass clippings or leaves can be included in your food waste bucket.
Contact the Public Service Department ASAP to cancel and/or update your collection information
In some circumstances we can provide a replacement bucket, but we are not able to provide additional buckets. Contact the Public Service Department to make your request.
Please set your bucket out each week, regardless of how much food waste your household has produced that week.
