• If you have backyard compost and the package is backyard compostable, toss it in your home compost (and give yourself a pat on the back, composting is the best!).

• If it is industrial compostable, you’ll need access to an industrial composting facility through your city or another program. If you do have access to this, consider checking with your composter to see if they accept compostable packaging and single-use items (like takeout containers).

• If you do not have access to compost, the package should go in the trash.
