Can I use compostable bags?
Unfortunately, no. Compostable bags, along with other bioplastics, are not accepted in the green bin. Compostable bags do not break down within the designated timeframe at the composting facilities and may leave behind microplastics that contaminate the compost. Instead, put your organic materials into the green bin loose. If you need to use a bag, go with a paper grocery bag, paper to-go container, newspaper, or pizza box instead!
