If products such as bags, packaging or cutlery say biodegradable or oxy – biodegradable, does that mean I can put it in the green cart?
While these products may break down in other municipal composting systems which process organics longer, we ask that such items are kept out of the green cart in the towns of Bridgewater, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg. Products which break down reliably in the Lunenburg Regional Community Recycling Centre’s composting facility bear the US Composting Council’s label. Products with the Composting Council label have been tested at our facility and do not cause compost contamination. Soiled paper bags and plates may be placed in the green cart.
