What Vancouver Has Done To Reduce Trash
What Vancouver Has Done
In 2010 the green bin was implanted. The green bin is for uncooked fruit and vegetable scraps. In fall of 2012 all types of food scraps we allowed in the green bin. One year later the government switched the pick up delivery so the green bins were picked up weekly and the garbage was picked up bi - weekly.
