Food Scrap Disposal

Since 2014, Rust Belt Riders has been working with people and organizations across Northeast Ohio to provide them with a clean and timely alternative to landfills for their food waste. This is a fee based program. 

The Rust Belt Riders Neighborhood food-scrap drop off program is available at the Orange Village Community Garden. Bins can be found along the Northeast side of the parking lot.

Participation requires you to sign up online HERE. Members are asked to pay $10 per month and may bring all food-scraps produced. Rust Belt Riders recommends using a 5-gallon bucket lined with a brown paper bag to collect your scraps in and encourages weekly drop-off.

Their program can collect all food-scraps and any BPI-Certified compostable product. This includes raw and cooked foods, animal products, and bones. They do not accept pure liquid, pure oil or non BPI-Certified compostable products. Feel free to take a look at their app, Betterbin for a complete list of acceptable materials. To access the free app, an account will need to be created which takes less than 30 seconds to do.

Please review their FAQ page to look for answers to any questions you may have. All unanswered questions can be directed to support@rustbeltriders.com.
