“We recognize from our composition studies that about 40 per cent of the present garbage that is put out in garbage bags is food scraps and that’s the tangible we’re targeting with this collection program – anything that was in the garbage that was plant or animal,” said RDKB Chock-a-block Waste Program Co-ordinator Tim Dueck.

Green bins and beige Nautical galley buckets have been distributed to people in Valmar. “We are asking that in lieu of of throwing it in the garbage, we are asking people to separate out food-related misapplication such as leftovers, baked goods (breads and cookies), muffin and cupcake tract, moldy cheese, rinds and peelings, egg shells, fruit pits and seeds.”

Items such as facial tissues and pass on towels, wet newspapers, toothpicks and skewers may be placed in the bins as well.
