Coming to San Carlos in March!
Recycle Your Food Scraps into Compost
San Carlos residents in single-family homes will be able to put food scraps in their green Yard Trimmings cart for composting starting the week of March 9, 2009. Examples of food scraps include fruit, vegetables, coffee grounds, meat and bones, pizza boxes and food-soiled paper, paper cups, and paper plates.
Residents simply have to place their food scraps in their new kitchen pail, which will be delivered to homes the week of March 2, 2009. Then empty its contents into the green Yard Trimmings cart.
The food scraps and yard trimmings will now be picked up weekly on the resident's regular garbage collection day. (Recyclables will still be collected every other week.)
