Fresh produce, as well as frozen and shelf-stable foods, can be donated to local organizations (drop-off options below).
Food should never be included in curbside recycling bins or in bins at recycling drop-off centers. Food in a recycle bin can cause an entire truckload of recyclables to be rejected and thrown away into the trash!
