Recycling food scraps and other organic waste returns essential nutrients to the soil and improves soil health. Starting a home organics recycling program is easy. Just follow these four steps:

1. Visit City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Dr., to pick up a free starter kit. The starter kit includes a small kitchen caddy, compostable bags and tips for success.
2. Fill up your compostable bags with organics recycling materials from the accepted items list available at RamseyRecycles.com / OR.
3. Bring it to the collection site for free disposal.
4. Grab more bags from the dispenser on the fence (there is a two-bag limit per week). If the site is out of bags, stop by City Hall to pick up more bags.

If you are unable to visit City Hall during business hours to pick up a starter kit, you can get one at any Ramsey County yard waste site or the Ramsey County Library-Roseville, 2180 North Hamline Ave. For questions, visit RamseyRecycles.com or call 651-633-EASY (3279), answered 24/7.
