The collection of organic material is a function of the Regional Municipality of Niagara. Approximately one-third of your household waste is made up of organic material, including kitchen scraps, leaves, grass clippings and yard trimmings. By participating in Niagara Region’s Green Bin (organic collection) and leaf and yard waste collection program, you are reducing the amount of waste being landfilled.

By using your Green Bin and placing your leaf and yard waste to the curb, you are turning waste into a resource. The organic material is turned into valuable compost that can be used on lawn and gardens.

The following information is provided for Fort Erie residents regarding a NEW curbside collection service of Organics and the purchase of a green ORGANICS curbside container. Information regarding the revised recyclables pick-up schedule is also provided below.
