Whatever you can eat, they can eat. This includes any cooked food, meat, or dairy products.

We do ask that you not put in plants, yard waste or soil, PLU stickers, or any paper products.

There isn't an industry standard for what a compostable bag is at this point, so it would be a risk. Most "compostable" bags either just break down into smaller microplastics or never actually compost unless exposed to high-volume industrial composting conditions. Additionally, we choose to not sterilize the process of food-waste collection - it's going to be messy, but that's why it works!

We do not directly sell compost right now for various reasons, but when we do harvest the finished pile, we offer it to any of our weekly pickup locations before using it at our shared garden.

If you would like to financially support us, we have a merch store that has monthly design drops, and a monthly Patreon with exclusive content.

TLF thrives off of community and word-of-mouth, so the best support will always be to spread the word of food-waste and compost, locally or otherwise.
