***SEPTEMBER 26th WILL BE THE LAST DROP-OFF DAY FOR THIS PROGRAM***

 

We have received notice from Sanimax, the company collecting all our food waste, that they will no longer be providing organics collection services. This means that we will have to close our Food Waste & Organics Drop-off site. At this time, we don’t have any available options to replace this service though we are continuing to research options with local farms and composting operations.

Acceptable Material

The Brown County Food & Organic Waste Program is a Pilot Program. Residents who are collecting food waste & organics from their home may participate in our drop-off program. Participants should register to help us track how many people are using the drop-off sites.
