Organics/Compost Bins
Learn about our bin options, sizes, and how to choose the right one for your needs
What Is an Organics Bin?
Organic or compost waste includes biodegradable materials from plants and animals that decompose naturally, such as food scraps, yard trimmings, coffee grounds, eggshells, and paper products. Instead of sending these items to a landfill, we turn them into nutrient-rich compost.
Who Should Use an Organics Bin?
Organics bins are ideal for anyone generating food and yard waste — from residents to restaurants, grocery stores, and organizations:
- Homeowners: Kitchen scraps and yard trimmings
- Restaurants & Grocery Stores: Food waste diversion
- Condo & Apartment Residents: Large communal organics collection
- Businesses & Organizations: Food and yard waste from operations
Benefits
Using an organics bin reduces landfill waste, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and turns your organic materials into valuable compost.
- Environmentally friendly waste diversion
- Helps the City of Saskatoon meet green program goals
