How Do I Start Composting?
Starting is as simple as choosing a reusable container with a lid! An empty coffee can, old container, or countertop bin will work. Keep your container conveniently located in the kitchen and toss compost in as you cook and clean. Your container can be lined with a paper bag or BPI-certified compostable liner for easy disposal. You can also empty your container into your subscription compost container or stickered Kraft bag daily for collection on your regular LRS pick-up day.
Residents who choose to compost food and yard waste can do so through the subscription or sticker programs:
Subscription Program
Customers can dispose of unlimited food and yard waste in an LRS-provided 35-gallon compost cart for an annual flat rate. No stickers are required for food and yard waste in approved bags outside of the cart. Enroll in the Subscription Program on the LRS website or by calling 844-633-3577.
Sticker Program
Customers can also take advantage of the sticker program by placing food and yard waste in brown Kraft bags or user-owned containers (maximum 33 gallons or 50 lbs. when full). Each bag or container must be affixed with an LRS waste sticker.
