Compostable program…The Village offers a food scrap composting collection program for residential households of up to five units. Participants receive a gray 96-gallon cart for weekly collection of organics, a three-gallon food scrap kitchen pail and sample of compostable bags for food scraps. Both yard waste and food scraps may be placed in the organics cart, eliminating the need to purchase yard waste stickers. Bags for food scraps must be labeled compostable and meet the ASTM 64O0 standards. An organic cart subscription costs $15.30 per month, and new subscribers receive three months free with a one year commitment. Residents can share an organic cart with one other neighbor reducing the monthly cost to $7.65 each. More information is posted at www.oak-park.us/compostable.
