North Park Compost

As a part of the new Community Garden, we have also started composting food and yard waste.

You can bring your food waste to our bin located in the North Park Community Garden, just north of the Kedzie/Carmen parking lot. There is a locked gate entrance to the garden from the parking lot, so please contact us for more information on how to gain access.

Items to compost: 

Fruit and vegetable scraps
Grains (bread, pasta, rice, oatmeal, cereal)
Coffee grounds (and paper filters)
Tea bags
Eggshells

What NOT to put in:

Meat, Eggs, Dairy, or High-fat foods
Pet droppings
Paper products (unless specifically ‘compostable’)
