In Dutch Brook, Cape Breton, Scott and Jodi Richards own and operate a solid waste-resource management business that collects and diverts more than 23 tonnes of recyclables from the landfill each month. Dutch Brook is also encouraging their residential and commercial customers to take a hands-on approach to composting.
