Welcome to the NEW organics (food scraps) drop-off program!

 

These containers have been located in your town to provide more options for dropping off food scraps.  The purpose is to create easy and convenient opportunities for residents to participate in reducing their waste.

 

These satellite containers are available to deposit food scraps (ONLY) at your convenience 24/7.

It’s simple to participate.  Sign-up for your towns organics (food scraps) program, download the “MetroKEY” app then use the app to open the container 24/7.
