Can you put compostable containers in the compost?
Recently, plastic pollution has become a growing problem in our society. In an attempt to address this, some local restaurants have taken the necessary shift away from plastic and styrofoam take-out containers, to compostable products instead. However, after considerable research, I have discovered that compostable products are not as easy to dispose of as one might perceive. Neither the City of Surrey nor The City of White Rock’s residential composting programs will accept any compostable container that resembles plastic. Both cities’ websites instruct residents to place some compostable products straight into your garbage, not your compost or your recycling.
