A Toronto man says one of the city’s garbage policies is rubbish, after he was told a big load of compost he brought to a city transfer station would end up in the landfill.

Milos Brkic said the next suggestion city staff gave him was to hold on to the compost, generated by a 60-person family event, and slowly send it through Toronto’s green bin system – something Brkic estimated would take weeks.

Brkic said he really wanted to “get the garbage thing right” for the Canada Day get-together, printing signs for each type of waste: organic or compostable, reusable, recyclable and garbage., prepared to let city staff put the bags of organic waste in the landfill. in North America in 2002. It’s a way to keep food waste out of the landfill, where it would generate methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas.

The green bins head to Dufferin or Disco transfer stations, but a call to 3-1-1 on Sunday confirmed no transfer station will take compost drop-offs.
