Green bin program expands
The District of Muskoka reports that the Muskoka's curbside green bin program has been expanded to include more residents in Gravenhurst, Muskoka Lakes, and Georgian Bay.
Nearly 8,000 bins have been delivered as part of the region's largest expansion to date, and the District says the response has been overwhelming. Many residents are already taking part in this waste diversion effort, keeping food waste out of local landfills and helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The District says that residents who are not yet part of the program, will see the green bins available on seasonal roads and at Common Collection Points starting in early 2025. In the meantime, organic waste can still be dropped off for free at any Muskoka transfer station.
