When it comes to the summer months and warmer weather, there are several steps you can take to help prevent odours and insects in your Green Cart, Blue Box and garbage.
Ensure bags are tied tightly and that container lids, both inside and outside the home, are secured and locked to prevent insects and pests from gaining access.
Keep containers free of moisture. Add dry items to the Green Cart like paper towels and facial tissue, wrap food items in newspaper or place in box board to absorb moisture.
Clean all containers regularly with a mild soap or detergent.
Clean out your fridge on, or the night before your collection day.
Rinse any plastic wrap or Styrofoam that has been in contact with food before disposing in the garbage.
Empty the contents of your household waste containers frequently.
Keep waste bags in containers out of direct sunlight. If possible, store them in a cool location.
