What's New

Green Bin program

Starting September 21 over 220,000 homes in the City of Ottawa will begin to receive a new green bin. Residents will place kitchen scraps such as vegetable, fruits, meat, fish, bones, dairy products, coffee grounds and filters as well as other organic household materials in the bin to be collected. The material will be processed into a nutrient-rich compost. With your help we will be feeding the land and not the landfill.
