A bi-weekly holiday has been declared by the city! I just read the instructions that come with the City of Toronto's Garbage Bins- Wheel your bin to the drive-way on collection day. Place the bin on your driveway at 7 a.m. Place the bin at least one half metre (approximately 2 feet) away from the your Green Bin and with 3 metres of clearance above the bin. Wonderful- now all means of driving down the driveway have been blocked unless you are blessed with a double driveway and who in most of the city of Toronto has one of those?
During winter weather, try to find a clear place to put your bin. The collection crew will return it to that spot. Now what are those people who leave for work after 7 a.m. to do. Stay at home until the garbage is collected, take the transit? Who thought of this? Winter is going to pose a real problem. It is already difficult to manoeuvre the blue bin out to the curb without snow if a car is parked in the driveway.
I have a feeling that this like the rest of the bin project has not been thought through very carefully.

Good point Nora....I never even thought of the problems that winter and blue bins would hold. So far, Stouffville still has the "old school" blue bin.
