The Three R’s1. Reduce

To understand how you can reduce your waste, it is important to know what you are throwing away. 2. Reuse

When you decide to buy something, try to purchase products that have a longer shelf life and that can be reused several times.

For example: buy reusable containers for lunches and avoid buying disposable utensils, plates and napkins for parties. Instead of throwing away things, find new ways to use them. 3. Recycle

Recycling should only come once you have attempted to reduce your consumption or reused items you have already purchased.

The majority of Canadian cities have comprehensive recycling programs.

What goes in the Green Bin?

As our city is growing continuously, it is a big problem

of the space on landfill sites where the garbage is sent

and dumped.

Dumping and burying waste is incompatible with the

introduction of environmentally sensitive waste

reduction and recycling programs.

We need to be more selective when we throw out our

solid waste, to avoid pollution of air and water systems,

and the increase of the global warming.

In other words, we have to work together and use

various methods to preserve our quality of life.

Why do we

need another

bin?

Let’s work together to reach our goal!
