From the District Municipality of Muskoka:
Muskoka’s Clear Bag Program officially launched at the curb on March 3rd, and we’re excited to share some early results! 
Based on District staff audit results during the first week (March 3-7):
~60% of households participated in the program
39% reduction in garbage collected at the curb
23% increase in organic collected at the curb
Over 215 new green bin requests were made this week—amazing efforts to reduce waste, cut GHGs, and extend our landfill space! 
Way to go, Muskoka! Let’s keep up the great work.
