In Niagara we switched to bi-weekly garbage collection.
2 bags/containers per household (garbage bin not to exceed 91cm/36" in height, 61cm/24" diameter, or 50lbs weight).
If you exceed the limit you have to buy garbage tags @$2.50/each that you affix to the extra bags
Weekly recycling: grey bin, blue bin, green bin
Leaf/yard waste gets collected periodically in those large paper bags
We've had green bins for, I wanna say, around 15 years now. It's strange that other parts of Canada haven't adopted this yet
Since we've switched to bi-weekly garbage pickup, recycling rates have increased and garbage has been reduced.
Quote:
Recycling and green bin use is up in Niagara Region following the switch to bi-weekly garbage collection.
In the six months since implementing the change, green bin tonnage is up more than 34 per cent and garbage tonnage is down almost 16 per cent compared to the same time last year.
