In some localities green bins are also used to contain unsorted municipal waste . The bins are designed and manufactured by Norseman Environmental (an ORBIS brand), a manufacturer of recycling and organic waste containers in North America . </P> <P> The program's purpose is to reduce the amount of waste shipped to landfills by turning organic waste into compost . The programs collect kitchen and related organic waste (typically including soiled paper products, pet waste, sawdust, and similar items) using a waist - high green curbside container, for which the programs are named . The municipality picks up the waste on a regular basis along with other garbage and recycling collecting, and composts it in an industrial composting facility . While it is true that home composting can also serve this purpose, the green bin programs are viewed as being more convenient and more inclusive of source materials . </P>
