We're lucky, in the City of Boise, to live in a place that is so environmentally conscious. We're a community that not only looks after one another but that looks after the cleanliness of our streets and neighborhoods.

One of the great components and programs that helps keep our city special is the City of Boise's compost program, which many local households participate in.

Announced this afternoon on Instagram by Mayor of Boise Lauren McLean--there are some tweaks coming to the compost program that she's excited to share.

Check out this comprehensive guide below, which outlines what you can put into your City of Boise compost pickup and what NEW changes have been made to these policies!

Do you participate in the Boise Compost program?

There's a famous joke made by comedian Jerry Seinfeld in which he explains that our homes are really just perpetual trash stations--we bring things home to only, eventually, throw them away. Isn't that the truth!?

Some things get thrown away quicker than others--like many of the things that are on that City of Boise compost list. It's amazing the number of things that go into landfills each day that could be put into compost instead.

Next time you're taking things out to the trash--you're going to want to make sure you don't toss these in!
