An article was printed in the Midland Mirror on January 5, 2009, regarding the extension of the green-bin program to private business in the Midland area. According to Simcoe County's Environmental Services Manager, Rob McCullough, there are currently no plans to offer the green-bin program to private businesses.
Part of their reasoning is that they feel it would be too difficult for businesses to get their customers to separate the waste. We feel that this mindset lacks faith in the average consumer who may want to support this program.
As a Simcoe county resident, if you feel the same way and would like to see the green-bin program offered to private businesses, particularly restaurants, then please add your name to the online petition.
We thank you in advance for all your support.
Your Downtown Midland Merchants.
People are actually listening to us and it is honestly wild to see this gain so much traction when I was just staring at a screen worrying nobody else cared about compost in the downtown district. I keep thinking about how the county insisted people wouldnt separate their waste but look at all of you proving them wrong already.

My cafe would start doing this tomorrow if they let us. People are smarter than the county gives them credit for.

Ridiculous that we are still not composting. The restaurants go through way too much food waste to just throw it all in the regular dumpsters.
