  • Put into your black cart

Put all types of charcoal, coal and charcoal-based products into your black cart as garbage.

Why can't this be composted?

Charcoal products are often used for filtering out contaminants and they do not belong in the finished compost. These manufactured products also do not break down quickly enough in the composting process. To ensure we are creating the highest quality compost possible, do not put these items in your green cart.​​
