A new program has been started in Delta called the Green Can Program. It is a program that will allow single-family homes to dispose of foods such as fruits, vegetables, coffee grounds, teabags, meat, fish, dairy and bread in a more environmental way. Containers of food waste will be collected from the curb every week just like recycling or garbage. Food waste is a big per cent of waste that is disposed and added to landfills. This program targets that problem.
This new program seems like a fantastic idea to me. Many people still do not compost and end up throwing away a lot of food. Just like several years ago, most people did not recycle. Now that it is a weekly curb side collection program practically everyone recylces. Why shouldn't food scrap recycling be the same. The city could save a lot of landfill space by spreading this program around.
