More on Wisconsin Eagle
The food scraps acceptable in this program are the same materials that would be suitable for your backyard.
Coffee grounds, egg shells, raw fruits and vegetables, and other similar scraps.
The program cannot accept meat products, bones, grease, or dairy products (including cheese).
More information about what can, and cannot, be accepted at the food scraps drop-off site will be announced as we get closer to the start of the food scraps drop-off program.
Will there be additional drop-off sites?
Yes. One additional drop-off site for food scraps will be available this year. The location will be announced at a later date.
What changed that allowed food scraps recycling to start again?
The City of Madison received a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture for community composting and food waste reduction. The Natural Resource Defense Council also provided additional funding through their Food Matters initiative.

Using those funds, we were able to secure help from Sustain Dane to provide assistance in staffing the food scraps drop-off sites to help control contamination and provide additional materials necessary for the drop-off site to be a success.
The food scraps will be taken to the Neighborhood Food Solutions urban farm for composting to help their soil regeneration efforts and also supporting their mission and programs.
