What about smells and rodents? We found that residents in the pilot didn’t experience an increase in pests around their carts. Collect- ing food and yard waste in the green cart is similar to putting them in the garbage. If your household hasn’t experienced problems with pests and food odours in the past, it’s unlikely you will with the new system. Some good practices to follow include: • Empty the kitchen pail into your green cart every 2-3 days. • Keep the lid of the kitchen pail and green cart closed. • Put your green cart out for collec- tion every week, even if it’s not full. As green carts are set to roll out • Sprinkle a small amount of baking this summer, here are some common soda or vinegar in your kitchen pail questions you may have about the and green cart. program.
