It's Garbage Day Today

Our area became the last part of the metropolitan to join the green bin program. The residents would take more responsibilities in sorting our garbage. Bottles and plastic containers are one pile for recycling. Yard waste is another. Now, each household has a green bin for the organic waste. Only whatever doesn't fall into those types is garbage.

The city has handed out manuals and set up a website, which I read careful and act accordingly about what goes where. The green bin will further reduce the amount of the garbage the city dumps back to the nature. The organic waste will be processed and sent back to nature to re-join the cycle of life. To participate in such an effort makes me feel proud to be part of the civilized society. It was such a shame when I first came to Canada, I didn’t even know there was a division of recycling materials and garbage. Now I am willing to go door to door teaching people like me years ago.
