City of Berkeley Now Accepts Food Scraps and Food-Soiled Paper As Part of Its New Composting Program
The City of Berkeley now facilitates composting in order to meet its goal to reduce waste sent to landfills by 75% by 2010. Starting September 3rd, the city will collect green bins weekly. Residents can put food scraps and food-soiled paper products (such as napkins and pizza boxes) into pails provided by the city, and then empty them into the bins in addition to the usual yard trimmings.
Collected food scraps will be composted in a plant near Modesto and used by local farmers and landscapers to enrich the soil.
Instructions and details how to compost and get the bins as well as background information are provided on the linked websites!
