The Ottawa Green Bin
For Ottawa’s green bin program, the City wanted a green bin that was sturdy, secure and easy for residents to use and move from door to curb. The winning bin has it all—and more!

City reminds residents to use green bins safely
- The City of Ottawa reminds residents to store their green bin in a safe location and to be aware of any hazards with regard to children.
- While green bin manufacturer, Norseman Plastics, says there have been no reported incidents of children being injured in their lockable green bins, each unit does contain a message that says "Warning! Suffocation hazard. Do not allow children to play inside this container."
