How to dispose

There are two ways to dispose of meal kit delivery packaging depending on the items.

Black cart garbage

  • Put into your black cart

Put the following items into your black cart as garbage. 

  • Non-stretchy bags like spice packets and meat bags
  • Foam packaging
  • Compostable plastic packaging
  • Mini condiment containers
  • Coated paper packets and satchels
  • Ice packs
    • Do not drain gel/liquids down the drain. Double-bag and tie closed before disposing in garbage. 
    • Even if the ice packs are labelled as "compostable", "bio-degradable" or "recyclable", these products are not acceptable in City programs and must be disposed of as garbage.
