Green Bin Program - A Year in Review

It's been a little over a year now that the City of Vancouver has implemented the Green Bin Program. The program has taken a little bit of getting used to, but after a year now, most households have become more familiar with how to deal with problems that come with being green.

Here are some tips if you are still finding it hard to adhere to the program!

(1) separate your food scraps and garbage early in the stages - keep both the green container and a separate garbage can in your kitchen

(2) line your food scraps bin with newspaper to soak up the juices (the moisture is what causes odours and maggots ... GROSS!)

(3) thoroughly rinse out your green bin every week after pick-up day.
