Working with our waste collection services provider, the Town of Strathmore's residential organic waste, collected from the green carts, is turned into nutrient-rich soil amendment.
Environment Canada has identified organic waste material as making up about 40% of residential waste. The more waste we put in our landfills, the more we contribute to the release of greenhouse gasses and pollution that can leak into ecosystems - harming plants and animals.
You can help reduce the amount of waste that is sent to our landfills by composting. Organic materials such as kitchen scraps and back yard debris contain essential plant nutrients. These can be easily recycled for use as fertilizer and soil amendment – keeping organic material out of our landfills.
