Turning your kitchen scraps and trimmings into nutrient rich feed stock for composting is now easier than ever. The inception of programs allowing food scraps to be placed in residential yard waste containers prompted Cedar Grove, manufacturers, and local agencies to develop “accepted” compostable kitchen bags for local residents.
The following brands offer accepted compostable kitchen bags and picnic/party items which are available in your local grocery and retail stores or through online options. For a list of stores that carry many of these brands within King County, please visit King County’s solid waste section of their website.
