“Organic” Materials (Food Scrap Composting) Disposal at White River Alliance Transfer Station

The White River Alliance also processes organic food waste at our transfer station. “Organics”, or organic material, is any plant or animal material or byproduct which will decompose into soil. Food scraps like carrot tops, egg shells, coffee grounds, and bread crusts—as well as leaves, grass and wood—are all organic materials. Paper napkins and paper towels are made from wood pulp and will also decompose into soil.  Click for more information on Food Scrap Composting.
