Residential compost pick up: We've waited for this!
The city's plan is 2 phases:
1.In phase one, starting April 22, 2010, uncooked fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and filters, teabags, and eggshells will be allowed and collected bi-weekly as per your current yard trimmings collection schedule.
2.In phase two, in 2011, all food scraps (fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, dairy, bread, cereal products and food-soiled paper) will be allowed. It is expected that food scraps and yard trimmings will be collected weekly and garbage will be collected bi-weekly in order to minimize odours and insects from decomposing meat, fish and dairy scraps.
