However for convenience sake, residents can choose to use the bags so long as the bags are certified compostable or paper. The City is providing residents with a "kitchen catcher" to keep their indoor kitchen scraps in to avoid the drippings.<br />Items can go into the bin loose as well...totally up to the resident. <br />As for the laziness factor...well I can't say that I disagree with you!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933937863346079653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631732734083746998.post-8486126698713441222012-04-23T22:20:50.457-07:002012-04-23T22:20:50.457-07:00Hey Kim

Love the photo :) What will archaeologists of the future (if there is one) have to say about our society, as they dig down through the layers of the average city dump?Burl Jantzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378770320735181352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631732734083746998.post-50312627043215169562012-04-21T17:29:21.504-07:002012-04-21T17:29:21.504-07:00we have green bins in toronto and surrounding area...we have green bins in toronto and surrounding areas now, and as far as i know people use them pretty well (so do the raccoons). what is not clear is what happens to the compost they supposedly generate.<br /><br />also, the biggest problem has been "compostable bags". something to carry the green waste from your kitchen to the green bin outside. paper and some of the plastic ones are so compostable, the start degrading in the kitchen, and then you get coffee grounds all over the living room floor. others clearly won't degrade at all and are contaminating the green waste. why is it that people's laziness in walking outside once per day has caused such a problem and created a giant industry in unnecessary bags?!?Blizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714145364563782680noreply@blogger.com
