Waterloo Region residents are fans of the green bin

We love our green – our green bins, that is.

There’s been a surge in usage of the organic waste collection containers this year.

Much of that is tied into garbage collection changes in Waterloo Region, which kicked in back in March.

That’s when while weekly green bin and blue box collection stayed the same trash pickup became bi-weekly.

Today’s Record reports on a year-over-year basis we’ve almost doubled the amount of green waste collected in the first 6 months of 2017 as compared to the same period last year.

Comparing last month to June of last year, the stats are even more staggering.

This past June, over 2,000 tonnes of green bin waste was collected.

In June of 2016, it was only 880.
