• Separate and store food wastes and other wet garbage: Drain excess garbage moisture
  Pour fats, drippings and grease into glass jars and seal with a screw on lid; add a capful of ammonia to reduce odor in garbage containers; double plastic bag wet garbage
  


• Separate dry, non-recyclable waste: Store non-recylcable paper, containers, packaging and other dry waste indoors and away from combustible materials.
