TIPS TO PEST PROOF
Follow these steps to reduce pests and odors from your scrap collection container. 1. 💡 Keep your scrap collection pail locked tight at all times. 2. 💡 Don't keep scraps inside your kitchen for more than a couple of days. Transfer scraps into a larger container that is placed outside - in your yard or patio. 3. 💡 Sprinkle mulch, ash or charcoal on your scraps to reduce odors, flies and insects. Mulch is available at every dropoff hub for Food2Soil dropoff program participants. Pick up a few handfuls of mulch the next time you are there to dropoff your scraps. 4.💡 If you aren't able to dropoff your scraps with your composter every week then consider freezing them until you are ready to drop them off. 5. 💡 If ants take interest in your collection container place the entire bucket or container inside a pool of water. If you are a gardener and have access to Diatomaceous Earth then consider sprinkling it around your container to keep insects at bay. |

Twisty ties, produce stickers, rubberbands, gloves, produce bags (plastic & biodegradable & compostable) are all contaminants and need to be removed before building a pile. We’d appreciate if you discard these items in your kitchen itself so they don’t travel into collection pails, dropoff carts and compost piles. Thankyou! |
