Community Food Waste Drop-Off Starts April 26 2025

The Greater Laingsburg Recyclers are thrilled to announce the launch of our FREE Community Food Waste Drop-Off Program!   All communities are welcome to participate!

Starting this Saturday, April 26, 2025, you’ll be able to drop off food scraps at all GLR recycling drives to help reduce landfill waste and improve soil health. All collected food waste will go to a certified facility to be turned into compost.
♻️ What Can You Compost?
✅ Fruits & veggies (remove produce stickers)
✅ Dairy products
✅ Tea bags, coffee grounds & filters
✅ Bread & grains
✅ Napkins & paper towels
✅ Meat & bones
✅ Grease
✅ Eggshells
✅ BPI-certified compostable products
How to Participate
Sign up for the food waste drop-off program at any recycling drive or by email!
We have a few starter kits left for those who need a bin! Pick them up at Saturdays Recycling Drive (4/26/25, 9am-1pm).
🔹 Important Reminder: You can drop off food waste in BPI-certified compostable bags, brown paper bags, wrapped in newspaper, or loose.
Did you know that 25% of landfill waste in Michigan is food waste? By composting, you can help reduce greenhouse gases, lower trash costs, and enrich the soil. Join us in making a difference!
