Green bins and a new curbside collection program begin across Wellington County next week.
The program starts on July 7 and will include standardized collection frequency for both urban and rural households.
Materials will be collected on both sides of the road. Recycling and organics will be collected weekly but garbage will be every other week. Garbage bags will need user-pay tags in order to be picked up.
In a release, the county said the green bin program is expected to divert 2,000 tonnes of food and organic waste from its landfill site each year. It says the province as a whole only has 14 years of landfill capacity left.
