A beautiful cool rainy day and the much-anticipated arrival of my very own green bin!


I am so excited to finally get a green bin. Seriously, I'm like a kid at Christmas. Most of my neighbourhood has had theirs since last year and for some reason a few of us in one section of the street didn't get any. Ever since living in Halifax which has a superb composting/recycling system, it's killed me to have to throw out food waste. For months I've had to stare covetously on garbage day when everyone else gets to put their shiny bins on the roadside for pickup. No more. Next week I get to join the club.
