> WHAT is composting? Composting is the controlled decay of organic
> materials, like food scraps. The goal is to create compost, a dark,
> crumbly, earthy-smelling soil amendment that adds nutrients to the soil.
>
> WHY is composting important? By adding your food scraps to the drop-off
> bin, you are reducing waste, cutting methane emissions from landfills,
> improving our soil, lessening soil erosion, and conserving water if you
> choose to add completed compost to your yard or garden, which we recommend.
>
> WHO can use these drop-off sites? These Community Food Scrap Drop-Off
> Sites will be open to the public for FREE for the next two years. All you
> have to do is scan the QR code on the sign at your drop-off location, watch
> a short video about what can and cannot go in the bin, take a short quiz to
> check your understanding, and then you will receive a combination code to
> open the bin (you only need to do this once).
>
> WHEN will we be able to use the drop-off sites? The goal is to start
> collection in September, but you have only until July 12 to vote for
> drop-off site locations.
>
> If you have any questions about the pilot program, you can contact
