Big A$$ Recycle Bins

[princesskimmi]

Thank you to my city for bringing in these enormous recycle bins - I do love the concept of waste reduction and all but you are ruining my recyce walks!!

If you see feet dangling from the top of a recycle bin I have fallen in - please just pull me out!!

Thats my rant - I'm off to buy a big pair of tongs from the dollar store so I can extend my reach to the bottom of these ginormous bins!!

ha ha !! I don't mean that really, but all those posts I read about about all of you going on your walks and I could NEVER do that because we have had these " hold a full grown man " type receptacles since forever it seems. Our small curbside boxes went the way of the dodo ages ago.

Now what? A challenge for sure.

I've pulled my shoulder mannnnnny times trying to grab flyers outta those bins!!!! My area has been taken over too it sucks. Luckily recycle day is Monday morning so if the flyers come out on the weekend, they are usually on the top!!!

We got them last year also not only are they huge, green and ugly but our city has a bylaw that you cannot keep bins in the driveway or have them visible to the street but these monsters are so big people cannot fit them in their garages so they are all in front of the houses. Idiot city. Thanks for the new ugly visual.

If you use the garbage pickers that the street cleaners work bet that would work better than tongs lol.

Maybe you can get a grabber

Got me one yesterday - Today is my neighbourhood so wish me luck! The other draw back is they only collect recycling twice a month - good thing people haven't figured it out yet and they still put out the recycling!

Hey my friend had her picture in the Surrey paper because she was the one who assembled and delivered the new bins! Apparently it's a big deal in Surrey

Luckily I am in Delta and we still use the small bins, all our organic waste can go in a separte organics garbage can or in with the yard waste.

[princesskimmi]

Thanks Tink - maybe I'll figure out the Delta schedule and drive over your way!

I like the way pitt meadows and maple ridge does their recycling.
