We will contact you about an initial in-person meeting at your location to learn more about your operations, answer questions and perform a site assessment.
Training for how to easily integrate the food waste program into your routine is key for successful participation. We will schedule this training with the business point of contact (and all relevant staff when possible). We highly recommend appointing a composting champion in the company to keep the program running smoothly.
You will receive your carts based on the initial site assessment and amount of food waste produced at your business. Cart collection days may be scheduled up to three times a week.
If needed, follow up meetings can be arranged with the city for additional training or company refresher.
