]]> Comment on The Green Bin and The Blue Box by Manu http://www.OakvilleBlogger.net/the-green-bin-and-the-blue-box/#comment-99 Manu Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:13:26 +0000 http://www.OakvilleBlogger.net/the-green-bin-and-the-blue-box/#comment-99 I know the manual says that you can recycle plastics #1 and #2. Do you all throw the rest of the plastics in your regular garbage, or in with the rest of the items in the blue box? A lot of the fruit and apple sauce containers are neither #1 nor #2 and we end up throwing a lot into the regular garbage. Thanks. I know the manual says that you can recycle plastics #1 and #2.

]]> Comment on Compostable bags for the Green Cart and Kitchen Catcher by Gloria http://www.OakvilleBlogger.net/compostable-bags-for-the-green-cart-and-kitchen-catcher/#comment-98 Gloria Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:10:19 +0000 http://www.OakvilleBlogger.net/compostable-bags-for-the-green-cart-and-kitchen-catcher/#comment-98 I am quite dissatisfied with the Glad compostable bags. They leak and break through too soon, within 2 or 3 days. So I started lining the bag with layers of newspaper but it still leaks before the end of the week. So $5.99 plus taxes for 20 small bags that break/leak before pickup day is ridiculous! By the way, is anyone else annoyed at the sheer amount of TIME spent PREPARING our garbage? Just short of gift-wrapping it with a bow on top..... :roll: I am quite dissatisfied with the Glad compostable bags. They leak and break through too soon, within 2 or 3 days.

It is marked on the package that it is compostable and made of a corn material. Thanks for any answers!

Halton residents can put all their recyclables in one blue box instead of seperating papers and containers into two boxes. Glass, plastic bottles 1 (PET) and 2 (HDPE), plastic tubs and lids, metal cans, aluminum foil, juice boxes, milk cartons, paper, envelopes, newspaper, phone books, box board and corrugated card board can all go in the same Blue Box, making it even easier to recycle. Apparently, advances in technology and changes in the marketplace have allowed the Region to change the way collecting and processing recycling materials, therefore pre-sorting is NO LONGER NECESSARY...!!! I can't tell you how happy I am about this personally...I am thrilled that I will never receive another note on my Blue Box telling me I have mixed something up...heck just be glad I put it in the darn blue box in the first place...!!! This is going to really help get people recycling even more then ever as it doesn't require a degree in sorting to recylce now...!!! Just another tidbit...I found recently...!!! Blue Box Materials can go in one container!!!
