London, Ont. considers allowing dog waste in green bins
Updated: Dec 17, 2025
Four-legged Londoners just might be in luck.
After years of debate and a pandemic-driven delay to London’s green bin program, city hall is finally charging ahead – weighing up the options to build a curbside compost program in the largest Ontario city without one.
One of the key questions left to answer about the future green bin system is whether pet poop – which makes up a whopping 10 per cent of London’s trash – should be allowed in the compost.
2024 update:
"Baby diapers, incontinence products, and pet waste will not be permitted in green bins. Instead, they will continue to be disposed with a household’s regular garbage that moves from the current eight-day collection cycle to every 14 days.
“'Londoners that are handling pet waste, Londoners handling diapers, will have to hold on to that material an extra four to six days,' confirmed (Director of Climate Change, Environment, and Waste Jay) Stanford.
"He added that the city will be able to adjust decisions around pet waste and other changes if too many challenges arise."
Interesting angle in your post. For anyone testing quick visual ideas, the Hotel lobby generator can turn two photos into a short AI music video, with 5, 10, or 15 second options in 720P and private downloads. It seems handy for previews before committing to a bigger edit.
The 10-per-cent figure makes the case by itself — and the update shows the other side won: holding pet waste an extra four to six days on a 14-day cycle is the cost of saying no. Thanks from fnf
Interesting point about institutions struggling to match ambition—the same gap often shows up in content creation, where big ideas stall without the right tools. That’s why options like faceless reels appeal to me; they turn scattered concepts into polished videos without needing a crew. Practical for anyone facing logistical limits.
I really hope they let us put dog waste in the green bin. It makes sense since it's such a big part of the trash. By the way, I just tried the AI Signature Background Remover to clean up my handwritten signature for a contract, and it worked perfectly!
Interesting debate about dog waste in green bins! It's all about keeping things clean and usable. Speaking of clean, I used this tool to Remove Background from Signature for my email, and it worked wonders. So handy for digital documents.
