The Green Bin Program - Beyond Composting

Southern Vancouver Island

The Green Bin Program is an investment in sustainable waste management. Since the Green Bin Program
started, the average household has diverted almost 2.5 kilograms of food and kitchen waste per week.
Instead of going to the landfill and generating greenhouse gases, this organic material is transformed
into soil enhancing compost.

The green bin goes beyond what can be composted at home. Not just fruit and vegetable scraps but cooked
food, meat, fish, bones, food soiled paper and paper packaging such as waxed fast food cups and milk
cartons is accepted.
