• Cut grass?

You can simply leave it on the lawn – it’s a natural fertilizer! (If you want to put your grass clippings in the bin, let them dry first.)

• Fireplace and barbecue ashes?

Spread them on your garden – they are an excellent source of potassium.

• Meat leftovers?

Wrap them in newspaper before putting them in the brown bin.

• Items that are not accepted in the regular collection?

Please note that Fletcher Mechanics, at 3040, ch. Capelton, accepts a number of items for recycle, including:

– Waste oil and containers
– Automotive filters
– Tires
– Batteries (cars, trucks, boats), with a $5 remittance per battery
