Say hello to your
new organic friend!
Nearly 50% of the stuff that goes in your rolling bin
for waste collection is organic waste. By composting,
you’ll significantly reduce both your greenhouse gas
emissions and the amount of contaminated runoff
created by organic matter in garbage dumps.
Do your part
With the new bylaw, every resident who receives
a brown bin must use it for their organic waste.
Organic waste will no longer be accepted in regular
garbage bins.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BRUTUS
To keep your bin clean
• Line the bottom of the bin with newspaper
or cardboard to absorb any liquids.
• Keep meat and other smelly waste in the
freezer until collection day.
• Try to remember to put your bin out every
collection day.
• Rinse your bin regularly and use that water
to water your garden. It’s full of minerals!
• Store your bin in the shade if possible.
To keep animals and insects away
• Wrap food waste in newspaper or a paper
bag.
• Apply a bit of menthol chest rub on the
cover and around the air holes to keep the
critters away.
• Sprinkle with salt, vinegar, or baking soda
if you see any insects.
To save on storage
space
• Team up with your
neighbors to share
bins.
• Opt for a smaller
garbage bin.

near the street (sidewalk, street,
and bike path must be kept clear).

Already have a domestic
composting bin?
Use your brown rolling bin for organic waste that
you can’t put in your compost, like leftovers,
meat, bones, dairy products, weeds, etc.
The two make a great team!
Grasscycling and leaf mulching
We encourage you to grasscycling and leaf
mulching. It’s easy! All you have to do is leave your
grass clippings and cut-up leaves on the ground.
This has numerous benefits:
• Improves your lawn
• Helps keep your lawn green and disease-free
• Is a natural source of nutrients and fertilizer
for your lawn
• Reduces the amount of water and pesticides
you’ll need to use
• Reduces the time it takes to maintain
your lawn
An effortless way to keep the grass greener
on your side of the fence. Give it a try!
