Each District residence has the opportunity to obtain a green waste can. The green waste collection program is a subscription program. Collections are provided weekly between mid-March and mid-December.
- Green waste is less expensive to process, keeping costs low.
- Reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill as garbage.
- Green waste is processed into usable organic compost.
- Reduce greenhouse emissions caused by decomposing organic landfill waste.

COST
The fees include a one-time $70 start-up fee and an annual fee of $126 for the nine months of collection. Those interested in second green cans still need to pay the $70 start-up fee, but all additional green cans are $36 per can per year. This program is self-sustained through subscription fees and not subsidized with other fees or tax dollars. There is no obligation to participate since this is an optional service for those who want it and are willing to pay for the services.
*A Green Waste can is $78 less expensive per year than an additional garbage can.
