BLACK AND GREEN CART PROGRAM
Utilizing black and green rollout carts, Strathmore encourages landfill waste diversion and creates efficiencies within our waste collection services.
What Goes in the Cart?
| Black Cart / Solid Waste - acceptable items |

Household waste at the end of their useful life that is not compostable or recyclable.

In winter months, residents are remined to;
- layer organics in the green cart with paper products (IE. newspaper, food boxes or paper towels) to reduce material from becoming stuck
- Clean an area around the carts, at the collection location, of snow and do not place the carts behind or on top of snow banks
- Clear the lid of snow and ice so the lid opens during collection
