How to compost paper straws
-
Put into your green cart
Put paper straws in your green cart for composting.
- If the straw has a glossy shine on the inside or outside, it must be labelled as “compostable” in order to go in the green bin. This ensures that the straw does not contain any plastic and is ok to compost.
- If the paper straw is shiny and not labelled as compostable, put in the black cart as garbage.
