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!
