Weekly compost collections will begin in July 2023. Service will be phased in by trash district every couple months as we get through the city. Gradually phasing in our weekly compost service will allow us to better educate and coordinate with residents, mitigate contamination, and allow our collection routes to grow with the service. We will reach out directly to residents within each district before their service begins with resources to help them prepare. Until compost service begins, no action is needed, residents will continue to receive the Phased Service Roll-out Credit on their invoice.
