Hi to all,
We need some helpers on this Sunday morning (2 June) to sort out our garbage pile between recyclable and non-recyclable items at 11 am or 2 pm in case of rain.
Please come in and help before you work on your garden. It will only take 15 to 20 minutes from your time.
Thanks,
Mike Chebbo
Chair

UPDATED 2 June:
As a result of the cleanup on Sunday morning the garbage area has been cleaned up. About 6 people came to help out and it took about 30 minutes to achieve a great result. The barrels have now been labelled with instructions for what goes in each one: plastic and glass, metal, paper, and the unmarked one is for "garbage" (non-recyclables).
Please tie up sticks and wood into bundles. The City of Ottawa garbage collectors are not obligated to take so many loose items of sticks etc.
It is best, if possible for you, to bring your recycling and waste materials back home in your car/van and put into your domestic garbage/recycling. This will help keep the garbage area tidy. With over 150 gardeners, we need to work hard to keep the garbage from becoming a problem. Please encourage others to use these bins/barrels properly.
The clean garbage area. Each barrel/bin is for a specific type of material.
