I don't need to participate in the Green Cart program because I do backyard composting.

Great! We encourage you to continue with your backyard composting but you likely are not managing all your organic food waste and non-recyclable papers in your backyard composter. Did you know that the Green Cart program can divert all those food waste items that you can’t manage in your backyard composter such as meat, bones, shells, pasta, sauce and gravy, bread and baked goods, cooking oils and dairy products. So, whatever you can’t put in your backyard composter, we are happy to take in your Green Cart.
