The City of Surrey has engendered a new waste collection and recycling program which is to be put in action by October 2012.
This plan has been implemented keeping in mind the provincial goal of a waste diversion of 70% by 2015. This particular program included 3 bins being placed on the curb-sides of Surrey homes: one for organic waste, one for recycling, and for garbage.
Food scraps and yard waste collected in the organic waste bin will be processed to generate carbon neutral fuel, which will be used to refuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) garbage and recycling collection trucks.
Surrey's Waste Reduction Challenge is a call to all Surrey residents and businesses to reduce the amount of waste ending up in landfills by creating less waste, recycling more, and reusing all that one can.
Through such actions, the benefits that will result are abundant and the illumination in status that the city receives will be widespread.
