By recycling, you help with reduce what goes to the landfill!
The Town of Strathmore also offers a free Composting program from May 1 to October 31. The Recycling Facility provides up to 10 gallons of finished compost per resident.
Read on to learn what goes into the green cart and what to do with other items that are not acceptable for green carts.
What Goes in the Green Cart?
Green Cart / Organic Waste - acceptable items
What to do with unacceptable items
Many items that are not acceptable in the carts can be properly disposed of at the Recycling Facility or collected during our Heavy Item Garbage Program.
In winter months, residents are reminded to;
- Layer organics in the green cart with paper products (IE. newspaper, food boxes or paper towels) to reduce material from becoming stuck
- Clean an area around the carts, at the collection location, of snow and do not place the carts behind or on top of snow banks
- Clear the lid of snow and ice so the lid opens during collection
