Winter Green Cart Tips

IMG 3814
 
Food waste may freeze in your green cart, making it hard to empty. Here are some tips:
 
  • Put your cart out every organics collection, even if it isn't full.
  • Strain liquid from foods before putting them in your cart.
  • Wrap wet foods in newspaper or stick them in a cereal box.
  • Line your cart with paper leaf and yard waste bags.
  • Alternate layers of food waste with sawdust or dry leaves.
  • Don’t overload your cart, large carts (240L) can hold up to 265 lbs. Carts over this weight will not be emptied to prevent damage.
  • Never put hot ashes in your green cart; doing so can melt your cart and start a fire. Allow ashes to cool for several weeks and check for hot spots before putting in your cart.
