Beginning January 1, 2022, residents are required to recycle their food waste at home. Additionally, we encourage food waste prevention practices and composting.

Food Waste Prevention Tips

We encourage residents to only purchase food they will use, and to eat leftovers, or donate extra unopened food to food banks such as FoodShare and Manna. You can view a list of Food Donation locations on our Reuse and Donation page.
