Please describe *

I watched the online training video. *

I agree to follow the Food Scrap Drop-Off Program guidelines, including the following: *

I will place only food scraps from the Accepted Materials list into the green carts provided (no bags or other non-food materials).
If I opt to carry my food scraps in a bag, I will dispose of the bag in the black garbage cart provided.
I will not leave any materials outside of the carts, even if the carts are full.
I will report full carts and any other issues to the Department of Streets and Sanitation at dsscomposting@cityofchicago.org.
