In addition to recycling, the city here launched an organics collection system about 10 years ago now. In a family of 5 when I used to live at home, We usually produced on average only one bag of garbage over 2 weeks. The rest is put in blue bags or the organics cart. It gets horribly smelly in the summer though

Since it was launched here, most other parts of the province has adopted a similar system.

Same with us in Toronto. The organic "green bin" and the recycling "blue box" are collected weekly in front of our house. Garbage is collected every other week, with 4 bags being the maximum.

P.S.: The garbage doesn't smell that bad.
