flag Norfolk County replaces weekly trash with green bins and biweekly pickup, costing $8M annually, to reduce landfill use.

flag Norfolk County will launch a new waste system in September featuring weekly green bin pickups for organics and biweekly automated garbage collection, replacing the current weekly service with a reduced bag limit. flag The change, driven by Ontario’s landfill shortage and the county’s 14,500 metric tonnes of annual curbside waste, comes with a seven-year contract costing nearly $8 million yearly—up from $4.2 million—chosen via open tender for lowest long-term cost. flag Officials say 42 to 46% of current garbage is organic, so green bins should meet most residents’ needs. flag Public education will begin soon to support the transition.
