What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide

Paper towels, napkins

Paper towels and paper napkins are compostable and can be put in Ann Arbor compost carts.

Compost Right!

Paper towels, napkins, and tissues can break down in compost carts. Do not put used/dirty tissue in compost, as a normal compost heap’s heat level is insufficient to kill the pathogens contained in Kleenex after being used to blow one’s nose or for other sanitary uses.

Choose Zero Waste!

Composting is one of the best ways to reduce waste in your community.
