What is an aerated cart and how does it reduce odors for organics?
A. The aerated cart has a false bottom, fluting on the sides and a perforated top to promote air circulation. The air circulation helps keep materials from going “sour” and causing odors. Lining the bottom of the cart with paper or cardboard, and wrapping foodwaste in paper, including all soiled paper paper and placing a layer of yardwaste on top each time you add foodwaste all will help reduce odors. Placing a layer of yardwaste on top each time you add foodwaste and kKeeping your aerated cart in the shade during summer months will also reduce odors.
