THIS EARTH DAY, GIVE YOUR FOOD SCRAPS NEW LIFE BY PLACING THEM IN THE GREEN CART

The average American wastes more than 8 heads of lettuce a week! That's a lot of waste going to our landfills!


Instead, place your food scraps in your green cart so we can use them to make compost to grow more plants!


Food scraps come from:

  • Meal prep trimmings
  • Those last bits of a meal
  • Old expired food in your fridge
