Trash talk: discussing Toronto's recycling plan
As part of Toronto Mayor David Miller's new trash regime, city workers are rolling out a new 240-litre recycling bin.
"The recycling-cart delivery was supposed to be the palatable phase of Toronto's new pay-by-what-you-throw garbage system, which officially launches in the city's more than 5,000 apartment and condo buildings July 1, and in its 500,000 single-family homes Nov. 1," Kelly Grant writes in her weekend article for Globe T.O.
"More than 100,000 Torontonians — a whopping one-third of the residents who've received bins so far — have called the city's bin hotline with questions and gripes since the solid-waste department began dropping off bins late last November. About 500 have complained forcefully enough to get a home visit from a member of the city's 'bin team.' "
Do you love or loathe your new blue bin? Are you flummoxed by the rules of Toronto's new trash regime? Send your questions and comments now, then join Ms. Grant for a live discussion Tuesday, May 6 at 12:30 p.m.
