Windsor-Essex residents will be able to start using their new green bins soon.

The green bin program officially begins the week of Oct. 20.

The program begins in Windsor, Essex, Lakeshore, Lasalle, and Tecumseh first.

All food waste and organic material can go into the green bin.

The refuse will be sent to Seacliff Energy in Leamington to be converted into a liquid fertilizer.

The fertilizer will be used at local farms and greenhouses as early as next year.
