| Story |
The Innovator is using all of his powers gained from decades of gardening experience to make sure as much waste as possible is recycled right at home. Keith's extensive recycling program includes 9 rain barrels around his St. Catharines home to collect water for his trees and bushes. He has a backyard composter for food scraps and only uses his green bin for materials he can put in his composter. He has a shredder to chew up leaves for mulch. The end result of Keith's efforts is rich compost for his garden and never more than one bag of garbage for collection. His extensive use of compost includes putting a thick layer on top of garden beds to help keeps weeds from growing and to reduce the amount of water needed. The Innovator is striving to have no waste at the curb for collection and that makes him a Waste Diversion Hero. |
