Princeton is Going Even More Green

Want to recycle all of your organics instead of tossing them in the trash?

Princeton is expanding its curbside food waste program to more residents, who can now sign up for $65 a year. 

If you don't the time, space or inclination to compost, now you still do your part for the environment. 

It's pretty simple- instead of throwing food waste and paper products in the trash, you put them in a green trash can (provided) and simply put it out by the curb each Wednesday for pickup. 

During the three month pilot program in Princeton, more than 60 tons of waste went into the green bins (and ultimately to compost) instead of a landfill, saving more than $7,500 in trash disposal costs. 

The $65 fee includes a 32-gallon cart, a kitchen collector and a supply of bags.
