What Organics
to Separate

FOOD SCRAPS
Do not include material sold to farmers or rendering companies, or food that is donated.

Plant Trimmings
Trimmings dumped in landfills lack the oxygen needed to decompose properly.

Certified Compostable Products
Must meet processor certification requirements.

How to Comply and Avoid Violations

Provide labeled containers specifically for organics, and post signage with instructions about organics separation requirements in areas where staff handles organics.

Employees must place materials in appropriate labeled containers and ensure that organics are not mixed with any garbage or recyclables.

Arrange for organics to be transported and/or processed separately from garbage and recycling. Post a sign next to your BIC decal that clearly indicates your arrangement.
