Thanks to local high school student and Girl Scout Monica Orozco and Zero Waste Houston, for 8 Wednesdays this spring, neighbors will be able to drop their food waste and compostables off at the Historic Heights Fire Station (107 W 12th St.) for FREE!

This 8-week pilot program, which will serve as Monica’s Girl Scouts Gold Award Project, will run on Wednesdays from 5-8 PM from April 14th through June 2nd.

We’re thrilled to partner with Monica and Zero Waste on this initiative that aims to help educate our community on the advantages of reducing weekly waste and give everyone an opportunity to properly dispose of it.

As a drive thru event, remember to bring your reusable container, remove all PLU stickers from all fruits and vegetables and be aware of contamination items (plastic, glass, chemicals, etc.). You may find a list of accepted and not accepted items on Zero Waste Houston’s website.
