2024: Thinking Organically and Out With the Old

The easiest, cheapest, and most sustainable way to manage organic waste is to avoid creating it in the first place.

To reduce organic waste at its source: avoid over purchasing & over preparing;
serve smaller portion sizes; properly store & label food items. For remaining organic waste, consider alternative disposal methods:

» Use a kitchen food pail to collect food scraps.

» Recycle organic waste at home using a backyard composting system.

» Use NASA’s Green cart. Organic waste is processed for compost or anaerobically
digested to produce energy.
