RETHINK WASTE
WHAT IS CHANGING?
Corrugated cardboard
Recyclable Paper
Containers made of glass, metal or Banned Recycled Plastic
(plastics #1, 2, 4 & 5)
Beverage containers (all except milk cartons)
Organic Materials (starting in 2015)
!
Failure to sort our waste properly could result in fines and
risk to our reputation
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Every year, in Metro Vancouver, we throw away nearly
1.5 million tonnes of garbage.
The organics collected from Surrey Schools will be taken to the Northwest
Organics composting facility at the McRae Ranch in Lytton Valley, BC
Organic waste is composted and the clean compost is then applied to organic
feed crops (hay, barley, alfalfa and hops) in nearby fields
The compost delivers badly-needed nutrition to the soil and increases
moisture retention, reducing the needed irrigation.
