Soon, placing food scraps in a special container instead of in the garbage will also become instinctive. “Like most things, it is a matter of changing habits,” said Debbie Fleming, solid waste coordinator for the Township of Langley, which launched its new Green Can campaign in May. Through Green Can, residents who receive municipal garbage collection can put all of their food scraps and leftovers, including meat and bones, out for pick-up in the same container as their yard trimmings. “It is still the same yard trimmings program as before, but we changed the name to Green Can to reflect that you can now add food,” Fleming said. With about 20,000 households benefitting from Green Can service, thousands of pounds of compostable waste will be kept out of the garbage dump, cutting down on greenhouse gas production. “Nearly 40 per cent of all household garbage is compostable,” said solid waste coordinator Robyn Cooper, noting that composting costs less than sending material to the dump. Food scraps collected from Township residents are used by The Answer Garden Products, to produce commercial and residential compost. Food scraps composting is also the now the law. On May 16, Township council passed a bylaw that requires food scraps to be kept out of the garbage, and the Green Can program is the easiest and most convenient way to comply. To take part in Green Can, residents who receive municipal curbside pick-up service need three things: a container for collecting food scraps right in the kitchen, an 80 litre can for curbside collection, and a decal identifying the can’s contents. Kitchen containers can be purchased at local hardware stores or made from an empty ice cream pail with a lid. Use it to collect food scraps and leftovers, then empty it into the 80 litre container, along with yard trimmings and food-soiled napkins and paper towels, and place it at the curb for the weekly neighbourhood collection date. continued on page B9…
