| Story |
The Green Gobblin takes her composting and organics recycling very seriously. Loretta, of Niagara Falls, doesn't have just one, but two green bins. And believe it or not, Loretta has 11 backyard composters. During the gardening months, she uses her green bins every day and they are put out at the curb for collection every week. Whatever materials her backyard composters can't handle, Loretta puts in her green bins for the Niagara Region to pick up and compost. She makes fast work of her yard waste by having her husband cut the grass with the collection bag on and then composting it. It breaks down faster and there's less volume. Loretta's commitment to composting makes her a Waste Diversion Hero.
