Food Waste Drop-Off

Henderson County began a food waste drop-off program at the Convenience center in September 2017 with 8 collection bins. Currently, the Convenience center has a red collection hopper for food waste collection. 

Over 138 tons of food waste have been collected since the start of the program!

Storage tip: Keep your food scraps in a container inside your freezer to prevent pests and odors. If you use a paper bag for storage, the whole thing can be deposited into our bins at the Center.

Please, NO plastic bags, glass, or other non-compostable items in the food waste bins. Thank you!
