Orland Park approves Waste Not curbside composting pilot; company outlines signup process
Summary
The village board approved a Waste Not residential curbside composting pilot. A presenter described the signup process, bucket delivery and that residents may compost all food scraps, including meat, bones and solid dairy.
Trustees approved the Waste Not residential curbside composting program after a recommendation from the Conservation and Sustainability Advisory Board. Mayor Jim Dodge said the board approved the pilot to expand local composting options.
A presenter for Waste Not explained how the program will work: residents "sign up on Waste Not's website," enter their address and receive area-specific pricing; the company delivers a bucket and collects compostable food scraps. "With Waste Not, you can compost all your food scraps, including meat, bones, and solid dairy," the presenter said. Pricing and start dates were not specified at the meeting.
