The program includes automated cart-based garbage collection and a County-wide green bin program. These changes aim to reduce landfill use, improve service efficiency, and align with provincial waste diversion goals. Why are we making these changes? Our garbage goes to landfills outside Norfolk County, which are filling up fast. If we don’t reduce waste, it could cost more and harm the environment. A 2024 waste audit showed that 42–46% of garbage was compostable. The new green bin program will help keep food and paper waste out of landfills, protect the environment and improve waste services.
