Norfolk县以绿色垃圾箱和双周皮卡取代每周垃圾桶,每年花费8M美元,以减少垃圾填埋场的使用。
Norfolk County replaces weekly trash with green bins and biweekly pickup, costing $8M annually, to reduce landfill use.
诺福克县将于9月推出一个新的废物处理系统,包括每周一次的有机物绿色垃圾回收车和双周一次的自动垃圾收集,用减少的袋限取代目前的每周服务。
Norfolk County will launch a new waste system in September featuring weekly green bin pickups for organics and biweekly automated garbage collection, replacing the current weekly service with a reduced bag limit.
这一变化是由安大略的垃圾填埋短缺和该州每年14 500公吨的阻塞性废物所驱动的,其结果是一项为期七年的合同,每年花费近800万美元,而通过公开招标选择的最低长期成本为420万美元,每年增加近800万美元。
The change, driven by Ontario’s landfill shortage and the county’s 14,500 metric tonnes of annual curbside waste, comes with a seven-year contract costing nearly $8 million yearly—up from $4.2 million—chosen via open tender for lowest long-term cost.
官方说目前42%至46%的垃圾是有机垃圾, 所以绿色垃圾箱应该满足大多数居民的需要。
Officials say 42 to 46% of current garbage is organic, so green bins should meet most residents’ needs.
公众教育将很快开始,以支持这一过渡。
Public education will begin soon to support the transition.
