First, you should know what recovering organic waste can be done in a flash and can easily be worked into your daily routine. To help you, however, it is important to know what materials are accepted in your brown bin. Waste from your cooking or gardening activities is recovered and turned into compost. What could be better than returning to the earth the very materials to which it gave rise?! The compost is then distributed\u00a0 to residents during the course of events organized by the Town, like Back to the Earth Day on May 25.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The materials listed below are grouped by section to make your job easier. A tip: print the list and post it on your fridge. That way, the whole family can get in on the act! As for materials that are not accepted, the Town has other types of pick-ups for those. Go to\u00a0 www.ville.rosemere.qc.ca for details of other pick-ups.<\/p>\n
