The key is careful planning and education. Try to serve finger foods to avoid the need for tableware. Everything used must be reusable, recyclable or compostable. Tell guests what to recycle and compost, and place signs throughout your space. Use reusables whenever possible. Otherwise, use compostable tableware certified by the US Composting Council <http://www.bpiworld.org/Certified-Bioedgradable-Foodservice-Items-Plates-Cu ps-Utinsels> . Please note that local compost facilities currently do not want "compostable" cutlery, they find it does not actually compost. Make sure there is no plastic, metal or glass in your compost. Collect material in compostable bags, paper bags, or cardboard boxes. Residents can drop off food scraps <http://www.cambridgema.gov/theworks/ourservices/recyclingandtrash/faqrecycl ingandrubbish/compostingquestions/organicsdropofffaq.aspx> at the Recycling Center at 147 Hampshire St during open hours only (Tues/Thurs 4pm-7:30pm and Sat 9am-4pm).
