EARTH DAY - APRIL 22
by Naomi Morrison on Wed, Apr, 21, 2010 09:40 PM
The city of Vancouver is introducing it's Residential Food Scraps Collection starting tomorrow. If you are a Vancouver resident and are currently receiving the yard trimming collection, then you will qualify, starting tomorrow, to add your uncooked fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and filters, tea bags, and eggshells into your yard trimming bin. If you are already composting at home, the city of Vancouver is encouraging you to continue to do so, to save on energy and collection costs. More info HERE.
With the weather warming up, keeping your grass green will soon require a little more work on your part. Before you begin watering your lawn, make sure you are aware of the city's watering guidelines. These regulations will help with our water consumption and our environment. The regulations can be found here. Consider a rain barrel instead of a sprinkler or hose and help the environment even more!
