Anyway, I hope we do better than Toronto is doing with their Green Bin program. The Toronto Star reported over the weekend:
The City of Toronto boasts that its green bin program diverts a third of our garbage and turns it into "black gold" compost. But a Star investigation shows that the program – although nobly conceived – is a sham.
There are two problems. First, the city's claim of how much waste the program diverts from landfill is inflated. Second, some of the compost that is being produced will kill your plants because of its high salt content, according to laboratory tests.
Hopefully the Blue Cart does better than the Green Bin.
