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 :sad:

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.

We have two bins, one for garden waste and cardboard and a second for tins, bottles, glass and paper. Which has to be sorted into sections within the box(kinda)

The scheme we use is called Reduce, Reuse, Recycle lol

We have to seperate out all our recyclables into either bags if its plastic or in boxs if its cardboard or tins or glass

RE: Do you recycle?
we have a landfil for our garbage which they pick up for us every other week, but if you want to recycle you have to keep all of your stuff and bring it to large blue bins located in various places around the city where you can sort the paper into one, plastic in one, etc. in Ontario we had a blue bin for recycling, but here in Alberta i havent seen any :\

oh and yeah we recycle

edit: question about the 'organic bins' in Nova Scotia and Toronto. is that just like banana peels and stuff? just compost it yourself and feed it to your gardens? :p
