Community Spotlight Blog by Eva Barnett (Recycling Educator)
Interviewee: Julie Noble
The Recycling Outreach Team’s “Community Spotlight” initiative highlights local stories about waste-sustainability.
Earlier this Summer, UCRRA visited with Julie Noble, Sustainability Coordinator for the City of Kingston and founder of The Kingston Organics Food Scrap Collection program.
Eva spoke with the Julie about how Kingston Organics got started, the impact it’s already having, and how the program is moving into its next phase of Curbside Collection.
Phase 2 launches in Spring 2026 with curbside food scrap collection available for free to City of Kingston residents who already get their trash picked up by Kingston Sanitation Services.
