Starting next week you can put more into your green bin.
The County of Simcoe is expanding its green bin program to now include pet waste, kitty litter and small animal cage bedding.
Recent county waste audits show that pet waste makes up 15 percent of the average household's garbage bag.
Keeping pet waste from landfill means the reduction of greenhouse gases and methane.
Pet waste placed in the green bin must be contained in paper or certified compostable bags.
You can start putting these added items into your green bin starting on Monday, October 1st.
