Uncoated/BPI Certified Paper Take-Out Boxes
Instructions
Take out containers are acceptable in the green cart only if they're BPI certified. If not, they should be placed in your landfill cart.
Alternatives
Bring a reusable container instead.
Facts
Many paper take-out boxes have a plastic film lining which makes it more difficult to compost as it would break down more slowly and may end being sent to the landfill.
