What if my business does not generate any organic waste?

All businesses generate organic waste, even if it is a minimal amount. All food waste, napkins, paper towels, uncoated paper plates, paper bags, and other compostable items are considered organic waste and must be placed in the organic waste container.

Pursuant to City ordinance and State law, all businesses must have collection service for trash, recyclables, and organic waste. Further, all businesses must provide separate collection containers for their employees and customers to collect recyclables and organic waste separately from trash. There is no ability to opt out of organic waste collection service.
