There always seems to be confusion regarding what can go in the Organic Waste Compost bins.  When I first started using them, I was amazed at how much of my waste was organic.  Now it is like a game in my house!  How much can we reduce our on-biodegradable waste?  Here is a good guide I found:

Put in your Green bin:

Fruits and vegetables

Meat, poultry, fish products

Pasta, bread, cereals, rice

Dairy, eggs and shells

Coffee grounds, filters, tea bags

Cake, cookies, candy

Diapers, sanitary products

Pet waste, bedding and litter

House plants and soil

All soiled papers can go in there as well, including paper towel, paper food packaging, sugar and flour bags, tissues and ice cream packages.

 

Hope this helps!  Happy Thanksgiving!
