I’d like to learn more about the Green Bin program. Where can I get more information?
The Ottawa Green Bin program is a new recycling initiative which involves collecting residential organic waste and turning it into compost. Using the green bin will help the City reach diversion targets set by the government of Ontario, by reclaiming and recycling the organic material that currently makes up over 45 per cent of residential waste. In doing so, the program will extend the life of current landfills, helping the City avoid spending hundreds of millions of dollars on sourcing and setting up new landfills.
