Solid Waste & Recycling customers in Kingfield are in Phase 2 of the City’s organics recycling cart delivery timeline which begins in April. Households (including renters) must sign up by February 1st in order to get a cart during the roll-out this spring. Those that sign up after February 1st will still receive an organics cart in 2016; it just might not be until July or August.

Remember, City Compost Collection includes fruits, vegetables, bones, meat, breads, eggshells, non-recyclable and food-soiled paper, and more for composting. More items than a typical back-yard composter can process. If you are convinced you want to retain your backyard compost pile for your own gardening, consider striking a deal with a friendly neighbor to use their bin for disposing of your bones, food-soiled, paper, compostable picnic-ware, eggshells, and other items that don’t break down easily in your home compost pile. The goal is, of course, to get these items out of the waste-stream, not to get a compost bin at every house; consider how you could share a bin on your block!
