Green Bin Project
What is the
“green bin project”?
The Green Bin Project was adopted to help reduce waste going into dump sites and landfills.
Proper green bin practices ensure that the compostable waste makes it through the proper recycling centres and can be used as compost.
We provide the proper “acceptable” recycling bags to the homeowners across the GTA so that they use the correct products for their waste and other kitchen uses.
Green Bin is a success: The facts about the program
Toronto’s Green Bin Program is one of the most successful waste diversion programs in North America. It’s unique composting technology allows everything from table scraps to pet waste to be turned into compost. The City needs residents’ continued participation. Learn the facts.
What amount of my household garbage could be Green Bin material?
About one-third, or 30%, of your household garbage is organic material – material that can be processed into compost for use on farms, parklands and gardens instead of being sent to landfill. The purpose of the Green Bin Program is to divert these organic materials from landfill and turn them into compost. Given the City’s goal of striving for 70% diversion of waste from landfill, reducing our volume of garbage by separating out organics to be processed as a beneficial resource, is the right thing to do.
