A lack of curbside pickup appears to be one of the obstacles to consumers being able to actually compost their compostable waste. Oregon’s North Lincoln County Sanitary Service is in the process of removing that obstacle: Blue compost bins with brown lids are being distributed to residents over the next two weeks, with curbside pickup scheduled to start on March 1.
So, how will customers know what to put into a compost bin? Well, a simple slogan makes it easy for people to understand: “If it grows, it goes.”
