Facial Tissue

Plain, unscented, non-lotion, facial tissues that are unused, or have been in contact with only water or food may be composted in your backyard or in commercial facilities (curbside or transfer station drop off). Tissues that have been used to blow your nose can only be composted commercially (curbside or transfer station drop off) where the high temperature process kills the pathogens. Tissues cannot be recycled as their fibers are too short to be manufactured into another item.
