Don't Use Black Garbage Bags For Composting

The Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission getting some provincial dollars to help raise awareness on their composting guidelines.

General Manager Mark MacLeod tells CHSJ News the main message they want to get out is that once you have filled your green bins with leaves and twigs, do not put any more into black garbage bags -- leaves and yard waste need to go into clear or paper bags.

He says during compost pick up, black bags will be left at the curb.

The province contributing 17-thousand dollars towards an awareness campaign.
