(Re: 2015 will bring changes to your curbside garbage pickup. January 15, 2015) I currently buy dog food in large bags. These bags cannot go in the blue box because they are heavily waxed, so I use them to put out the garbage. When the “Clear Bag” program starts, I'm not supposed to re-use these bags. I'm to stuff them into a clear bag to throw out. How is this helpful? The new initiative also says “you can still use used grocery bags for waste collection.” The grocery bags are to ensure privacy, but then they must be seen inside a clear plastic bag for pick-up. What exactly does that accomplish? Other 2015 changes refer to “volunteer residents” to tell people about composters. People who want to compost are doing it. To imply people aren't aware of composting is quite a haughty stance. It's like saying “we should have volunteers educate folks door-to-door about the health benefits of exercise.” Surely then everyone who doesn't exercise will start. Being in opposition to a green initiative is not good optics, but not every green idea is a good idea. S. Thompson Aurora |
