THE GREEN BINS ARE COMING!
If your Green Bin arrives and the lid is slightly warped or the gravity lock isn't engaging, it's best to keep the lid closed and allow it to settle into place naturally. This can often resolve minor warping issues or allow the lock mechanism to realign itself. If the problem persists, please contact EWSWA at 1-800-563-3377.

Grow Green With Us!
Use the Green Bin & grow the Region greener.
Putting food waste and organics in the Green Bin instead of the garbage helps the environment, extends the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill, and promotes a circular economy. Food waste is a valuable resource that can create renewable energy and fertilize next year’s crops.
Weekly Green Bin collection starts this fall. Let’s get one step closer towards a greener Essex-Windsor. Find out how you can Grow Green by using the Green Bin this fall at https://t.co/loPez2MdU5
