Composting in San Bruno

Got my kitchen bucket today. The FAQ says "Compostable/biodegradable bags are not accepted in the Organics program." The flier Recology sent to my house last weeks says "bio-plastics labeled 'compostable' ... may be put there." OK, I understand that some things that are biodegradable are not compostable, but when one thing Recology sends me says compostable is OK and another says it is not, I am confused. I have called them and have been told someone will get back to me. I also love how the FAQ says composting is optional ... but of course the higher rates we are paying are NOT optional.
