What’s changing, and why it’s happening now
We can all do a lot by changing a little
Norfolk County surveyed residents and audited household waste before launching our green cart program. These audits found that 43-45% of waste could be composted through green carts, instead of going to a landfill.
All across the province, municipalities are facing the same problem: Ontario is quickly running out of landfill space. Norfolk County relies on a private landfill that is set to close in 2031. Without changing our habits, we will face quickly-rising costs to deal with our garbage.
45%
We’re taking steps now to lengthen the lifespan of our landfill, diverting waste by introducing a green cart for organic waste collection.
By using your new green cart for organics, we can divert organic waste from landfill.
