YOUR GREEN CART GUIDE

Use your green cart for food scraps and yard and garden trimmings. Sorting material right helps Roseridge produce high-quality Re-Source Premium Compost for use throughout our region.

SIMPLE RULE: IF IT DOESN’T GROW, IT DOESN’T GO

Keep it simple: food scraps and yard and garden trimmings go in.

Manufactured packaging stays out—even when labelled compostable, biodegradable, plant-based, natural, sustainable or eco-friendly.

Most of this packaging can go in regular recycling starting Oct. 1, 2026.

Set your cart out on every collection day, even when it is not full.
Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom to absorb moisture and odours.
Drain food scraps and keep liquids out of the cart.
Freeze food scraps in a reusable container until collection day, then empty them loose into the cart.
