Organics Collection Program (Pilot)

The organics collection pilot began collections in the fall of 2016 and will conclude on September 30th, 2020.

In 2020, the Department of Public Works (DPW) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking proposals for an organics collection and processing service that would bring organics collection City-wide over the next five years. Ultimately, contract negotiations were unsuccessful and no contract was awarded.

The City remains committed to organics diversion and may consider other opportunities to bring organics diversion services to residents in the future. As the City is not in a position to offer its own collection program at this time, we feel that it’s important to support organics diversion and the local companies who are bolstering this industry.
