Clear Bag Update
The Clear Bag Program continues to produce great results as
recycling and composting rates continue to grow while garbage
rates have held steady. This means less waste is going to landfill
and your waste is much safer to handle.
Great job everyone!
The Elusive
Kitchen Catcher
We know you love to use them: Kitchen Catchers and grocery bags
to line your kitchen garbage can... well if you’re putting a solid
bag in a clear bag, collectors still can’t see what’s in your garbage.
A clear bag full of solid coloured bags
counts as your one allowable privacy
bag; however, anything over the
one bag and you are required to

They can be placed

Construction Site Recycling
Tipping fees at our Management Centres are lower when materials such as wood, shingles, drywall, metal and brick are disposed of
separately. Sorting materials at the job site may save you both money and time. Here are a few tips for reducing waste at your worksite:

Plan Ahead:
On-site
Waste
Management
1. Analyze project waste. Estimate the types
and quantities of materials the project will
generate at each stage.
2. On-site reuse options. Check to see what can be
recycled/reused onsite (wood, soil, rock, concrete)
3. Decide how you will recycle. How can the
job site accommodate multiple containers? How
can current containers be made to accommodate
sorted materials?
4. make a plan. Which materials will be salvaged
or recycled? How will materials be collected and
transported to the recycling facility and who is
responsible for the waste.
5. Educate. Explain your waste management plan
to all employees and sub-contractors
6. Set up and Monitor.
-C
learly designate recycling bins with signage
that explains what is recyclable and what is not.
- Keep bins close to where waste is generated.
- Provide hauler and crew with site plan.
- Check bins daily for contamination.
-Monitor quantity and cost tickets to track results
and savings.

Backyard Composting
Composting is Nature’s way of
recycling food scraps, grass, leaves
and other plant and animal matter
into a useful soil conditioner. You can
reap the rewards by making valuable
compost in your own backyard. Just
mix equal amounts of “greens” (fruit
and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds,
fresh grass, and egg shells) and
“browns” (straw, dried leaves, wood
shavings, ash, and paper) into a pile
and compost happens. You can build
a composter to contain your compost,
purchase a commercial composter,
or simply make an open pile.

1. Place your compost in a partially shaded, easy to reach spot in your yard.
2. Make sure the pile is always damp; about as wet as a wrung-out sponge.
3. Turn the pile every two or three weeks through the spring, summer and fall.
4. Keep adding materials and enjoy the results.

A New Challenge!
Nova Scotians have become known as world leaders in recycling and composting. The quantities of recycling and
compostable organics we collect continue to rise. The problem: We continue to dispose of large amounts of garbage.
In other words…we are still wasteful.
Your Efforts Are Paying Off!

Are you up for a challenge?
800
The Nova Scotia Government has issued a bold new target for all Nova
Scotians: An annual disposal rate of 300kg/person by the year 2015. We
currently dispose of 417kg/person meaning we as a region need to cut
our disposal rate by about one third.
The next time you are shopping ask yourself these questions:

How can we do this? Nova Scotia Environment is planning new waste

Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials are those items left over at a construction, renovation or demolition site.
The most common materials are concrete, wood, drywall, asphalt shingles, and metal. They are often discarded but are
actually valuable commodities that can be recycled into new products or used in many new ways. Approximately 1/3 of
all landfilled materials in the Valley are C&D waste. That is over 8000 tonnes annually. Having your materials recycled
instead of buried not only benefits the environment, it also saves tax dollars.

There is no excuse for illegal dumping and burning!

There are plenty of options to get rid of waste. Know them and there is no need for excuses.
Fines for burning and dumping range from $50 to $5,000 per case.

A Drama Adapted by
Kristin Laurence
To protect our environment, there are provincial
and municipal laws to regulate waste disposal.
Most Valley residents do their part for
the environment and the community by
disposing of sorted waste at curbside, at our
two Management Centres in Kentville and
Lawrencetown, or at other licensed, privatelyrun sites. Another option: You can donate
your unwanted usable items to others.
Bonnyman
Mitsubishi
However, a few people still burn or dump
waste. These activities are illegal. They
cause air and water pollution, they
are hazardous to wildlife and human
health, and they are unsightly.
Our Bylaw Enforcement Officer
responds to complaints, issues
tickets and lays charges.
