To stimulate food waste recycling, offer a monthly bin cleaning service.
Since food waste will be in a bin for 2 weeks before collection, it tends to become smelly and full with bugs. This could be a major drawback for a lot of people, especially during the summer months. Therefore, offer a monthly or bi-monthly cleaning service on the day the waste is collected. In this way, recycling will become a lot less smelly! This service is in use in the Netherlands where food waste recycling has been around for a long time, and works perfectly!

If someone wants a job they can offer a bin cleaning service on their own.
Maybe offer to put on removable graphic art on the bin too. You can not paint on the BIn since it is city property.Just like the pooper scoopers will come by and scoop up the dog poop in your yeard that some people would not do themselves.

Goes to show there are a lot of lazy people in the Netherlands and Vancouver who just want every little thing done for them. Both have alot of pot smokers who must dream up this stuff.
