The Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission is trying to keep people from putting compostable yard waste in the garbage can. General Manager Marc MacLeod tells CHSJ News the Commission wants to charge a higher tipping fee for garbage that shows up at the landfill with yard waste in it.
MacLeod says other provinces can ban the throwing out of compostable material but that's not the case in New Brunswick. He says such a ban would help make composting mandatory.
MacLeod concedes voluntary composting seems to have reached it's peak
