You can start the waste reduction process by taking the time to think about your organic waste and putting it in the green bin.Īfter all, our city produces over 80,000 tonnes of organic waste from the green bin annually. – whether you live in a house or multi-residential property. How do we get from here…and here…to there? Keeping organic waste out of the landfill lowers the amount of methane that is created and reduces greenhouse gases. Using your green bin continues to be one of the best ways to help our environment. Ottawa started the Green Bin Program in 2010.
