I can still remember how strange it felt having to separate organic wastes from other garbage when the Green Bin program first started in 2003. They all used to end up in the same compartment. By now, most households in the GTA and York Regions have adapted to the practice. Green initiatives continue to grow stronger and stronger and people are responding to them. While Green Bins are not yet used in residential and commercial buildings, the feasibility of collecting organics from multi-unit complexes still needs to be tested.

Great that you use my pic for this article! I've started my own little wormery on top of having the big composer. The fact is that as a growing family, we produce too much kitchen waste. Poor little worms can't much fast enough. ;-) Nice article! CG LOL! Great that you use my pic for this article! I’ve started my own little wormery on top of having the big composer.
