In March, garbage will be picked up every second week, but that’s okay, because most of what you throw away ISN’T garbage. Use the green bin and blue box (they’ll still be collected weekly) for all your organics and recyclables. Don’t trash it if it isn’t garbage! Learn more at www.regionofwaterloo.ca/wastechanges
