Article: If your city does not offer a public composting service, search for a private composting business in your area. Select a business and a plan that is within your price range, meets your needs, and fits into your schedule. Once you sign-up for the service, the business will typically provide you with a composting bin or bags.  Many services will take the full bin and leave you with a sanitized bin. If you do not produce much food waste, find a service that will pick up your compostable materials every two weeks or once a month. If you are interested in using compost in your yard, select a service that provides you with compost for free or at a discounted rate. Instead of paying for a public or private composting service, bring your organic materials to a designated biodegradable waste drop off site. These sites may be operated by the city, private organizations, or nonprofits. Before bringing your materials to one of these locations, make sure all of the items in your compost bin or bags adhere to the site’s standards.  Find these drop off sites through a quick internet search. Instead of paying for your city’s composting service, you may be allowed to bring biodegradable materials to a drop-off site yourself. Giving your biodegradable materials away is an excellent ways to support the farmers and systems that produce food for your community. Contact farmers and community gardens in your area to see if they accept organic donations.  This is a great option for business and restaurants looking to cut costs while giving back to the community. Some farmers and gardens may already have drop off boxes for composting donations.
