IMPORTANT CHANGE TO GREEN CART LINERS
Plastic compostable and biodegradable bags will no longer be accepted in green carts, due to the requirements of the receiving facility.
We want to give residents plenty of time to adjust.
IMPORTANT DATES
A grace period is in place until March 31, 2027, to allow residents time to make the switch.
WHAT CAN YOU USE INSTEAD?
- Paper compostable bags or liners
- Newspaper
- Cereal boxes or other suitable paper-based materials
Beginning April 1, 2027, green carts containing plastic compostable bags will be rejected and left uncollected.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Thank you for continuing to do your part!
