The green bin is typically used for organic waste, including yard waste and food scraps. Here are some common items that can be put in the green bin:
- Yard Waste: grass trimmings, weeds, green plants, tree limbs, branches, and leaves
- Food Waste: cooked and uncooked fruits and vegetables scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags, baked goods, dairy items, meat, fish, bones, and food-soiled paper
It's important to avoid putting plastic, plastic bags, and non-organic materials in the green bin to ensure that the waste can be processed into compost
