The Green Bin is the property of the EWSWA and is to be used only for the Green Bin program. If you move, the Green Bin must remain at that address.

At delivery, the Green Bin will be scanned and linked to a corresponding address so that it can be recorded in the EWSWA database. This information is essential to the new Green Bin Repair & Request Program (available now) that will track issues related to Green Bin repairs, warranty, requests, etc. This new program is important as it will support both residents and automated collection during this program.
