Queen City residents will soon be able to add a green cart to their collection.
The City of Regina said in a news release that more than 67,000 green carts will start to be delivered on Saturday for the City’s Food and Yard Waste program.
It also said green carts will be delivered Mondays to Saturdays to residents who receive curbside waste collection service.
According to the city, the carts are expected to be fully delivered by Sept. 1 and service begins the week of Sept. 4.
All food scraps — including meat, bones, dairy and greases — along with yard waste, greasy pizza boxes, napkins and tissues can go into the green cart, which the city said will divert roughly 50 per cent of the average household’s waste from the landfill.
To accommodate the new green cart, the city added it will permanently move the brown cart collection to biweekly collection, year-round.
“Green cart collection will be weekly through the warmer months and biweekly through the winter,” the release said.
More information can be found on the city’s website.
