But home owners aren’t the only ones who have to sort their waste properly; apartment dwellers have the same responsibility too. What tenants need to know about waste: Sorting • It’s your responsibility to sort waste into recycling, compost and garbage – always • F ollow sorting and packaging rules carefully to ensure bags are collected on garbage day • B etween collections, keep waste stored in the building’s designated storage. Unsure of the storage location? Ask your landlord. They must provide an area for storage • N ot enough room in your apartment for all the bags needed? Get creative with your space! Save counter space with an ice cream bucket for compost. Use smaller sized blue bags (20”x22”) and hang on the door of a storage cupboard. • Items too large to fit in a garbage bag are only collected at Spring and Fall Clean-up Move-out time • Move-out waste needs to be sorted the same as everyday waste. The items you recycle will reduce waste in landfill and keep you in good standing with your landlord.

We call it yard waste, but it’s not really waste. Leaves and pine needles are a valuable resource. The great thing is; you can easily manage most of them on your own property with a little help from Mother Nature. Mulching leaves is probably the easiest alternative to bagging up leaves for roadside collection. Using a mower to shred leaves greatly reduces volume and exposes more leaf surfaces to speed up decomposition. Shredded leaves knifed (lightly dug) into annual flower or vegetable gardens make a good organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. Constituency Office: 401A Main St. Kentville,NS Composting 365-3420 fax 365-3422 If you haven’t tried backyard composting already, there’s no time like the present to give it a go! Leaves are a wonderful addition to any backyard composter and can complement grass clippings and vegetable peelings in your compost bin. Valley Waste can provide you with information on how to build and start a backyard composter. johnlohrmla@gmail.com Kings County 414 Main St Kentvile 678-2124 homehardware.ca You'll have a healthier lawn as leaf mulch breaks down and naturally fertilizes the soil.
