Resources for Food Scraps Recyclers

• Green Bin Oragami (how to make a liner for your kitchen container…if you don’t have newspaper, maybe your neighbours do, take a look in your paper blue bin)
• City of Vancouver Green Bin Program (pertains to households, but still has great information – the bylaw for apartments will be in effect in 2015)
• Make your own kitchen catcher (adding in baking soda or shredded bits of newspaper also helps to keep the moisture and hence odors down)
