[The video above was taken in 2019 at the old compost drop off location, which is no longer open to the public. Please refer to the list of compost shed sites to see the current operational sites.]
Each compost shed is locked to avoid contamination. The combination to unlock the shed will be provided after you successfully complete the quiz linked here.
Unlock and open the lid of the shed using the combination. (Please do not open the front doors).
Open the lid of the green toter.
Dump your food waste into the green toter. (No plastic or "compostable" bags. Please drop all plastic in the garbage can.)
Close and relock the lid of the shed.
PLEASE DO NOT DROP PLASTIC BAGS (INCLUDING COMPOSTABLE PLASTIC BAGS) OR OTHER GARBAGE INTO THE GREEN BIN! Plastic bags are NOT compostable in Hoboken, even compostable plastic bags. All bags should go in the garbage.
