Going Green!

The Winona Peach Festival is please to have been involved last year, in the City of Hamilton Waste Management Division's pilot for Green Cart organics collection.  We placed green carts with the blue recycling barrels and a garbage can.   This year we are pleased to continue in this quest to Go Green.  

Facts from last year's pilot:

• 120 litre green carts were placed throughout Winona Park.
• each organization had a cart behind their booth for organic materials coming directly out of their booth.
• 17.3% of the total waste was diverted
• 15.8% of waste diverted was recycling (blue barrel)
• 1.5% of waste diverted was acceptable organics

Watch for more information on our plans for this year!
