Enhance Sustainability: Implementing the Brown Bin Program for Organic Waste Management

The Brown Bin Program is designed to help communities manage organic waste effectively. Participants can dispose of food waste (fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy), soiled paper products (pizza boxes, paper towels), houseplant waste, and pet waste. The program includes a durable 46.5L Brown Bin and a dishwasher-safe Kitchen Collector. With a phased implementation plan, the program aims to increase organic recycling rates, enhance community sustainability, and meet future recycling mandates. Join cities like Toronto, Peel Region, and Markham in this vital initiative for a greener future.
