The Town of Fairfield is starting a new food waste program. Residents with a valid sticker can drop off their food waste at no charge to the Town Transfer Station beginning October 17. Please stop at the scale house for a ticket.
Food waste must be placed in a BPI certified compostable bag. These bags can be purchased online as well as several local grocery stores. 

For more information, please contact sustainablefairfieldtaskforce@gmail.com.

Acceptable materials for drop off composting:

• Fruit scraps and peels
• Vegetable scraps
• Coffee grounds/filters
• Tea bags
• Egg shells
• Nuts
• Meat and poultry, including bones
• Dairy products
• Fish scraps, including shellfish and bones
• Bread, pasta and grains
• No liquids, no packaging

Compost all of your food scraps and divert roughly 20% of your waste into useful soil enriching compost.
