What is a Green Bin?

A Green Bin is like a blue (recycling) bin, but for food waste such as fruit and vegetable skins, spoiled leftovers, and other inedible food waste like bones. The Green Bin is collected curbside or in a common area like your Blue Box and the materials are composted at a facility in London.

A summary of resident feedback that was requested between January and June 2024 can be found in Appendix A (page 5) of the Report to Civic Works Committee (July 16, 2024).

Please also visit london.ca/GreenBin for more information about how to use the Green Bin.
