Are you using your food waste bucket for its intended purpose?

This is the bucket

• A kitchen bucket was delivered to every eligible household in the pilot routes to ensure that everyone was provided with a way to be able to participate. 

• We know that not everyone has access to ice cream pails or another type of container and want to encourage participation in the program wherever possible. 

• The kitchen bucket is the most common sized container used by other cities with organics collection so that it can be stored in a cupboard or other convenient location in your kitchen. 

• The kitchen bucket also gave us an additional way to provide participants with information about the acceptable items and a QR code that links to the Food Waste Collection Pilot Program webpage. 

• Just don’t forget to empty the contents of the kitchen bucket into your green cart and bring your bucket back into the kitchen to refill again!
