Keep Food Scraps out of the Garbage!

You Can Help Binny Make Compost Magic!
When you place your food scraps into Binny the Green Organics cart, they are magically transformed into rich compost for our farms, parks and gardens. It’s pretty simple: Keep ALL food scraps  – raw, cooked, and rotten – out of the Garbage and feed them to Binny. Before feeding the food scraps to Binny, be sure to remove any plastic packaging and throw that in the Garbage.

Place all food scraps and food-soiled paper in the Green Organics cart, not the Garbage cart, so that Binny can work his magic!
