Bring them to one of DC DPW's in-person Food Waste Drop-off Events at the Monroe Street Farmers Market!The best part? The event happens every Saturday, rain or shine, at the Monroe Street Farmers Market (716 Monroe Street NE, Washington, DC). Note: The timing of this food waste drop-off event varies by season: April to December: 9 am-1 pm; January to March: 10 am-1 pm.When you arrive, look for the big blue tent that says "Zero Waste DC" on top. At the tent, you will find a spatula, paper towels, and hand sanitizer available to wipe out your food waste container when you're done.THE BENEFITSBringing your food scraps and food-soiled paper for composting is your way to immediately reduce waste, help the environment, and mitigate rodent activity in your neighborhood.The benefits of composting far outweigh the added step by reducing food waste in alleys, reducing the odors associated with household refuse, and providing the satisfaction of actually making compost (rather than incinerating or landfilling the building blocks of fertile soil).Plus, when you bring your food waste to a drop-off event, you can do your grocery shopping, too. Fun fact: ALL of DC DPW's food waste drop-off events are co-located with a food source (e.g., a farmers' market or grocer). So don't forget your reusable shopping bags, too!So bring your food scraps this weekend and meet fellow community members who also care about making a difference. Together, we can turn waste into something awesome through composting.HOW TO LEARN MOREFor details on how to prepare your food scraps for drop-off and what is and is not accepted, visit https://zerowaste.dc.gov/foodwastedropoff.Have questions?
