Dog Waste diversion project coming in June!

Did you know that dog poop accounts for up to 27 per cent of the waste collected in our Parks?

Starting in early June, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in partnership with Solid Waste Management Services, is aiming to launch a second pilot project to divert dog waste in selected parks across the city - Trinity Bellwood being top of their list.

Once again, in an effort to reduce the amount of plastic bags in the green bin materials processing facility and minimize the environmental impacts, paper products are the only accepted method of disposing pet waste for the Green Bin Pilot.

This Saturday and Sunday from 3-4, a FoTB volunteer will be in the Trinity Park bowl where the bag disposal box and green bin will be located, sample bags in hand.

If you'd like to hear more about the pilot project or help distribute information provided by the City, please email Sue Campbell at radiobeast@hotmail.com.
