Residential Food Scrap Composting Program
Richmond residents can now put food scraps and food-soiled paper in the green cart with yard debris! These items will be taken to a composting facility instead of to a landfill, as part of the City of Richmond's strategy to fight climate change and reduce waste. Learn more!
