Tr y it! ORGANIC WASTE COLLECTION - MRC de Roussillon
Say hello to your
new organic friend!
Nearly 50% of the stuff that goes in your rolling bin
for waste collection is organic waste. By composting,
you’ll significantly reduce both your greenhouse gas
emissions and the amount of contaminated runoff
created by organic matter in garbage dumps.

Do your part
With the new bylaw, every resident who receives
a brown bin must use it for their organic waste.
Organic waste will no longer be accepted in regular
garbage bins.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BRUTUS

 To keep your bin clean

 • Line the bottom of the bin with newspaper
   or cardboard to absorb any liquids.
 • Keep meat and other smelly waste in the
   freezer until collection day.
 • Try to remember to put your bin out every
   collection day.
 • Rinse your bin regularly and use that water
   to water your garden. It’s full of minerals!
 • Store your bin in the shade if possible.

 To keep animals and insects away

 • Wrap food waste in newspaper or a paper
   bag.
 • Apply a bit of menthol chest rub on the
   cover and around the air holes to keep the
   critters away.
 • Sprinkle with salt, vinegar, or baking soda
   if you see any insects.

 To save on storage
 space

 • Team up with your
   neighbors to share
   bins.
 • Opt for a smaller
   garbage bin.

                                    Set your bin out properly
                                    As with your other rolling bins, you’ll
                                    need to:

                                     1   Put your bin out before 7 a.m. on
                                         collection day.

                                     2 Put your bin in your parking space,
                                         near the street (sidewalk, street,
                                         and bike path must be kept clear).

                                     3 Make sure the wheels and handle
                                         are facing your home.

                                     4   Keep a free space of 60 cm (2 ft.)
                                         around the bin so the truck can
                                         pick it up with its claw.
               Make sure your bin

Moving?
  Leave your rolling bin behind! Just like blue bins,
your brown bin needs to stay where it was delivered.
          Your municipality owns the bin.

     Already have a domestic
     composting bin?
     Use your brown rolling bin for organic waste that
     you can’t put in your compost, like leftovers,
     meat, bones, dairy products, weeds, etc.

     The two make a great team!

     Grasscycling and leaf mulching
     We encourage you to grasscycling and leaf
     mulching. It’s easy! All you have to do is leave your
     grass clippings and cut-up leaves on the ground.
     This has numerous benefits:

     • Improves your lawn
     • Helps keep your lawn green and disease-free
     • Is a natural source of nutrients and fertilizer
       for your lawn
     • Reduces the amount of water and pesticides
       you’ll need to use
     • Reduces the time it takes to maintain
       your lawn

     An effortless way to keep the grass greener
     on your side of the fence. Give it a try!
