Organics Process

What's the process for you?

Sorting your organic and food waste from your regular waste is easy! Each household has received two bins; a smaller 7 litre kitchen catcher and a larger 45 litre rollout cart. You'll use your kitchen catcher in your home. For cleanliness, we recommend putting a small 10 litre compostable bag in your kitchen catcher. As you create food and organic waste, you'll add it to your kitchen catcher. Once your kitchen catcher is full, you can pull out the bag full of food and organic waste and put it into your bigger rollout cart. Pickup is on Fridays each week. Be sure to get your rollout cart to your curb by 7am to avoid any delays.

Please note that Organics Bins are for organic waste ONLY, do not put recycling material or regular garbage in the bins. Miller Waste will not be checking the organic bins on your regular waste collection days, only on Fridays when it is time for organics collection. If you put your organics waste bin out on your regular waste collection day, it will be ignored. Avoid delays with your regular waste and recycling pickup, by using the appropriate bins for the appropriate service.
