<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What bothers me is the people at the Region in
charge of our waste stream, who do not do/give much community education on
how to do things- ie. what to put or not put in the Bluebox, green bin, yard
waste, garbage etc.. They focus their education efforts on kids in public
schools I think, but there are a lot of adults out there who really don't know
how to do things -you'll notice this sometimes if you have new neighbours,
or in our case, young parents with kids who somehow never got the education on
how to put out things, so lots of their stuff is not put out following the
rules/guidelines and therefore is left at the curb each week- eg. how to bundle
cardboard so they'll take it. And people move so much these days from other
cities and countries, that there needs to be regular presentations on how to do
all this. I think they should hold information sessions once every month or
couple of months at the libraries or something, otherwise people just throw it
all in garbage bags to be done with it, so a lot of stuff gets landfilled that
should be recycled or composted. I know it all used to be in the front of the
phonebook, but those are going by the wayside now. Hopefully people can look
online easily. Sorry- had to vent about this! </FONT></DIV>
