Everyone, except maybe some renters, has been given information about the Food Scrap Collection bin. It was first located by the dumpster. Park Manager Randy was concerned it was too near the Potable Water supply. Randy relocated the bin to the opposite end of the yellow can and bottle collection container, secured it with a strap that could be easily disconnected, and replaced it with the replacement bin. Sutherlin Sanitary has been informed of the relocation.
Let me enlighten you if unsure what can go in the bin. For example, when you peel potatoes, cucumbers, or onions, the peels can be put in the bin. When you finish a bone-in porkchop or T-bone steak, the bones can be placed in the bin, and turkey and chicken bones can go into the bin. When you empty the refrigerator of food that no longer needs to be stored, it can be placed into the bin. Fruit peels, such as avocados, including the big seed, oranges, etc., can be put into the bin.
If you are emptying the freezer of uncooked meat… it cannot be put into the bin. Oil, even after deep-frying food, cannot be put into the bin, and butter, rancid or not, cannot be added to the bin.
Plastic containers, plastic bags, and take-out paper containers cannot go into the bin.
When your plants wilt, die, and or need trimming, the trimming or dead vegetation can go into the bin.

I keep this 5-cup container in or near the sink to collect unwanted food stuffs, then take it to the Food Scrap Bin when I take the trash out. Works well.
You can use biodegradable bags, then toss the entire bag into the bin. The bags are at some grocery stores or Amazon has a variety of sizes available.
