Mitigating Harmful Gas Emissions

Organic waste in landfills produces 20% of the potent methane emissions, which is 84 times more impactful than carbon dioxide. Comprising half of landfill waste, organic waste like food scraps, yard trimmings, and paper play a significant role. Property Smart is dedicated to curbing emissions and enhancing public health by offering organic waste services to our communities.

FAQ

What will happen to the recycled organic waste?
Most of the organic waste will be converted into compost or utilized in anaerobic digestion to generate renewable energy.
Does the fact that an item is biodegradable indicate that it is suitable for the organics cart?
No, a significant number of food packaging companies classify their bio-based cups or eating utensils as "biodegradable," but the truth is that they are neither compostable nor recyclable. These products consist of mixtures of bio-based resins and petroleum-based resins and, unfortunately, end up in landfills.
Are plastic bags acceptable for disposal in the organics cart?
Plastic bags, including compostable and biodegradable ones, are not allowed in organics carts due to their poor decomposition and contamination risks. We discourage plastic liners as well; if used, empty contents into the green bin and dispose of the liner in the trash bin to maintain compost quality.
