		<description>I agree with you that it's backwards. 

It was a shock when I moved from Montreal to the pacific northwest. the municipality-issued 'poubelles' are half the size for garbage here (roughly 2'x2'x3') and the recycling "bin" is 3'x3'x4' That's 27 cubic feet!

Recycling can also include things like scrap metal, old electronics, etc.

Also, they recycle yard debris in a 3rd bin, to compost it, and that includes food items. Consequently, there's very little that goes in the actual 'vidange'.</description>

		<description>I hope they use the bags in my area soon.  The problem with the current bins is the wind scatters stuff all over the street, a great deal of paper winds up in my driveway or out in a field some place and just contributes more to pollution.  At least the bags keep everything contained, keep it all dry, hold more than the box, and as I understand it, you don't need to sort anything you put in the bag.

I agree they have some drawbacks, but I'd rather have a clean street and have to pay a bit extra for the bags, than have to pick up all the litter every friday that should have gone to the recyclers.</description>

		<description>The front page story on the Gazzette Sunday said that they make alot of money from recycled paper.  So I guess it is not enough that you are giving them your stuff for free, but now they want to charge you for it.  So now you are contributing your recyclables and your cash for the environment.  Why don't they just hand out bigger bins like they are doing in our suburb?</description>

		<description>Phil, je vais le faire, me dÃ©placer Ã  l'Ã©co-quartier. D'ailleurs je me disais qu'on pouvait s'organiser dans mon bloc pour se partager la tÃ¢che d'y aller.

Si je chiale, c'est parce que je sais que mÃªme si moi Ã§a ne m'arrÃªtera pas, c'est clair que cette dÃ©marche additionnelle va en arrÃªter beaucoup.

C'est important que l'Ã©tat rende Ã§a facile, pas pour toi et moi, mais pour les autres qui ne sont pas aussi convaincus.</description>

		<description>En fait, ce qui me dÃ©range dans ton texte, c'est l'utilisation du "they". They give us cover et They pick up more often. Placer toute la responsabilitÃ© sur l'Ã‰tat et sur les organismes. Le citoyen, pour qu'il recycle, doit voir cette tÃ¢che Ãªtre facilitÃ©e au maximum.

Pareil comme tous ceux qui chialent contre Harper Ã  propos de Kyoto mais qui ne font absolument rien pour rÃ©duire leurs Ã©missions de GES.

		<description>Moi je te trouve juste chanceuse d'habiter cet arrondissement. Big deal de devoir se dÃ©placer et payer pour les sacs. T'en achÃ¨te un paquet et Ã§a te dure l'annÃ©e.

Ramassage plus frÃ©quent = coÃ»ts beaucoups plus Ã©levÃ©s et plus de polution par carburant fossile.

Les sacs, c'est idÃ©al, bien plus qu'un couvre bac. J'aimerais simplement qu'ils Ã©tendent la pratique jusqu'Ã  Hochelag.</description>
