Portlanders will soon "Include the Food" at the curb.

We’ve been helping the City of Portland with the roll out of citywide curbside composting—a topic that’s right up our alley. We previously assisted the City with the pilot program for this initiative (which was a great success), as well as a number of other recycling efforts including citywide residential curbside recycling and office paper recycling initiatives.

Starting October 31, residents of Portland will be able to compost all food scraps such as meat, bones, dairy, grains and even pizza boxes at the curb. They will include these items along with their yard debris in the green roll cart, which will now be picked up every week—quite the change for many Portlanders, but a huge benefit to the environment.

We used an illustrative style in this campaign in order to demonstrate both the simplicity of composting and to serve up the information in a way that’s easy to digest and understand. The phrase, “Include the Food” has been leading the campaign so far in order communicate the most immediate change. If you live in Portland, look for our materials coming your way in October!
