Stratford’s organics program continues to be a success

Residents across Stratford are being thanked for their role in the city’s organics program.

The city says a total of 100 tonnes of organic material was collected in August through the program.

Officials say that amount would fill approximately 4,545 garbage bags and is roughly the weight of a blue whale.

Since the program was launched in April, the city says a total of 430 tonnes of organics have been diverted from the landfill site.
