Larger Pail for Food Scrap Recyclers

Print More

If you’re filling your countertop food scrap bin too quickly and making frequent trips to the town dumpster, Sustainable Suffield’s six-gallon pail with a locking lid could be the solution, according to Co-chair Anna-Kristin Daub-Murphy. It measures 13 ½” diameter
at the top, 12 ¼” diameter at the bottom and 13 5/8” tall with the lid locked on.

She suggested that you put it in your breezeway, garage or cellar and dump your countertop contents into it to reduce your dumpster visits. She said you can dispose of food scraps loosely, in biodegradable bags, or even in paper grocery bags. Free, three-gallon biodegradable bags for countertop bins are available from the library and from Colin Moll’s assistant, Kris Lambert, on the second floor of the Town Hall.

Daub-Murphy said the six-gallon pail is FREE, but supplies are limited.
