Get Into Your Green Bin

Did you know nearly 40 per cent of what ends up in Toronto’s residential garbage could go in the Green Bin? Every time you use your Green Bin, you’re helping to divert waste from landfill and cut down on harmful emissions.

The Green Bin isn’t just for food scraps – other accepted items include pet waste (animal droppings, clay and wood pellet cat litter and cage bedding), disposable diapers and sanitary products, as well as soiled paper towels, facial tissues and napkins.

Find a complete list of accepted items at toronto.ca/GreenBin.
