🥦 Small changes, big impact.

About 40% of the food we buy ends up wasted. Here are a few easy ways to cut that number way down:

🛒 Shop with a list and buy only what you need
🧊 Move older items to the front of the fridge so they get used first
🍲 Turn leftovers into tomorrow's lunch or a new meal
👃 Don't toss it just because of the date — "best by" and "sell by" are about quality, not safety. Trust your eyes and nose.

And when your eyes and nose say no, put it in your green cart, not the trash. California's SB 1383 requires it, and it keeps food out of the landfill where it does the most harm.

🛍️ Choosing the Right Produce Bag

When shopping for produce, meat, or bulk items, the best bag choices are paper or your own reusable bags from home. Paper bags are fully compostable — toss them in the green cart. Reusable bags are even better — washable, lasting, and zero waste. 🌱

Those green-tinted "compostable" bags at the grocery store despite their name, may leave behind bioplastic residue and are not allowed at our local organic compost facility, so they cannot go in the green compost cart.

NOTE: If you use them to line your kitchen compost pail, remember to dump the food scraps into your green cart, but toss the bag in the trash.

What You Flush Matters! 🚽

Your toilet was designed to ONLY flush human waste and toilet paper. That's it. Anything else you want to dispose of? It goes in the trash.

Wipes, feminine products, cotton swabs, floss, condoms — and the list goes on. None of these break down in your pipes. They can cause clogs, backups, and costly damage to your home plumbing and the sewer system.

When in doubt, throw it out — in the right cart:
🟢 Green Compost Cart: Tissues, paper towels, and toilet paper rolls
🔵 Blue Recycling Cart: Plastic, aluminum, and glass containers
⚫ Black Trash Cart: Anything else that can't be composted or recycled
