CONT

Is your community implementing or considering the adoption of a separate collection program for green materials? If so, please provide information on the type of program ("green can," bags, loose street pickup, etc.), the participation level of the community, and any ordinances mandating participation. Also, please indicate the percentage of the population served by your separate green waste collection program.

CONT

Household chemicals are also subject to a separate collection program through EcoRecycle Victoria.

OBS

Blue Box program; Green Bin program: These expressions are specific, since the colour or the bin may vary from a municipality to another; it probably also refers to the "curbside recycling program", a specific because here the collection is done individually to each house, at the curbside (see also that record).
