CORNWALL – Around 70 questions were put to officials and consultants Thursday night as the City of Cornwall held on online open house on organics recycling.
Under provincial rules the city has to be able to divert half of all organic waste put into the garbage by 2025 through a green bin program. Those are things that can naturally break down like food scraps, coffee grinds, spoiled fruits and vegetables and paper products.
