Kitchen Organics Program

Kitchen Organics Waste Information

Upper Dublin Township continues to look at a variety of programs from around the country to handle kitchen organic waste by diverting it from the waste stream and composting. Currently, the combination of costs and permit requirements may not allow for partial or full implementation of such a program.

Residents are advised that our current yard waste collection program has some flexibility and opportunity to reduce waste and return valuable nutrients to the environment safely. The following is a list of items that you most likely regularly produce within your household that can be placed in your green yard waste containers:

Fruit & vegetable scraps
Crushed egg shells
Coffee grounds and paper coffee filters
Used tea bags
Stale baked goods, like crackers & bread
Corn husks
Crumbs swept off of counters & floors
Old herbs & spices
Pizza crusts
Toothpicks
Green waste

To keep your green yard waste container clean, we suggest wrapping your food waste in newspaper. Please do not use any plastic bags, even if they say compostable. These types of bags do not break down fast enough for our program.

Yard Waste Procedures (Areas A & D)

Yard waste must be placed at the curb the night before the scheduled collection day.
A maximum of nine (9) containers, paper bags and/or bundles total may be placed curbside.
- Brush and/or tree limbs must be placed in biodegradable paper bags or tied into bundles (with twine) not exceeding 4' in length and 50 pounds.
- Please make every effort to contain yard waste in wheeled containers or liftable bags/bundles to help Public Works Crews load more efficiently.
- The following will not be taken: Dirt, sod, rocks, tree stumps, bamboo, logs, root balls, wood chips, or branches exceeding 6" in diameter. Please hire a private contractor for these materials.
Please do not:
- Use the brown refuse cart for Yard Waste.
- Use compostable bags or any plastic bags for any material or food scraps (these bags do not breakdown fast enough for our program).
