Food & Yard Waste - Apartment Residents
Food & Yard Waste - Apartment Residents
Food and yard waste composting reduces garbage and greenhouse gases, saves landfill space, and creates compost to beautify local parks and gardens.
Take advantage of the benefits of composting rather than throwing it away. Why waste a good thing?
SPU has two weekly collection services for apartments and condos:
- • Onsite service for food and yard waste.
- • Curbside service for food and yard waste.
Better Recycling Is Here
View a summary of changes to your collection services. Also see the compostable items flyer (translated in several languages) to find out what can go into your food and yard cart. Cedar Grove has also approved limited compostable tableware (PDF)
You can also read about some properties that participated in an SPU test project (PDF)
Want to Start Service?
If your building doesn’t currently have food & yard waste service, ask your building owner or manager to sign up.
