left over food
veggies
fruits
grains
chicken that smells funky
bones and shells
basically if you could eat it at some point, the composter can eat it too!
coffee filters and non recyclable paper products (only in small amounts)
plastic
compostable containers and silverware (our system is not hot enough long enough to break down "compostable" containers
glass
clothes
toiletry products
wrappers
cartons
electronics and batteries
perfectly good food that can be consumed
After your bucket has been filled with all the proper goodies...
You may drop off your compost bucket every Monday, Wednesday and Friday anytime before 2:15pm
Load the bucket into a vehicle to bring to the drop off location. See our "Site Map" for more details.
address: 61 Cummings Rd, Lake Placid, NY 12946
Leave the bucket in the "bucket shed" for our student staff to process (you will receive the shed combination in your acceptance email when you become a member)
Take a new bucket and fill it with composting goodies again!
