Got a ton of Advertisement Flyers? Use them as both composting container & material !

Kitchen cone A simple, easy, way to collect compostable food scraps! Three easy steps:

• Line the cone with newspaper.
• Put daily food scraps in the cone.
• Once the cone is full, remove the paper containing the waste and place the whole package in the compostable waste bin outdoors.

If you’re looking to obtain these nifty kitchen cones, I unfortunately don’t know of a dedicated source that sells it. You’ll have to scour the web looking for it. At the time of this post, 2022, the cone is free for residents (proof of residence required) and available from the Public Works counter at City Hall in Pointe Claire, QC (451 Saint-Jean Boulevard).

A small container is a handy way to collect food waste and transfer it regularly to the compostable materials bin. An alternative to the kitchen cone, an ice cream container with a lid will serve the same purpose. Put it in a convenient location in your kitchen and line it with paper towel, newspaper, or advertisement flyers to prevent food scraps from sticking and reduce smells.
