    What you can expect.
  • As a subscriber to our Food Scrap Collection Service, you will receive a countertop kitchen pail ($20 retail value) for use indoors to collect acceptable food scraps during meal prep. When full, empty the contents of the kitchen pail into the 5-gallon food scrap storage bucket provided.

    The 5-gallon storage bucket is for holding acceptable food scraps until pickup day. The bucket will be emptied by the collection staff and left for reuse by your household. You will be responsible for cleaning the bucket. For an additional $8 per month, you can sign up to have a clean storage bucket left in place of the unclean food scrap storage bucket each week.

    This is a front porch pickup service provided one-day per week. After signing up, we will notify you about your pickup day and when collection containers will be delivered. This service is provided by Iris Waste Diversion Specialists therefore your food scrap pickup day may not be the same day as your City provided trash/recycling/yard waste collection day.
