I am too busy sorting my garbage into clear bags, blue bags, black bags, green bins, blue bins and lets not forget that fruit fly infested icecream pale that I’m afraid to touch without gloves.

  2. I have no recycling initiative. I throw all my recycleables into a small black bag then hide it in the middle of my real black bag. We are only 35 million people in Canada, if you think we can make a difference while China’s billions pollute, then roll up those sleeves and start separating my smelly tuna cans from my pop bottles.

  5. Uh…. so buy cellulose bags. That’ll help with your compost. They’re almost as strong as plastic and compostable. And uh.. you know. Everything some of the others said should just about cover the rest of it.

    Seriously op. Were you really this delusional about your responsibilities in life when you left mom’s house? “You mean I really have to keep my home clean and organized?” Yeah. Really, you do. Wait till you start paying taxes.

  7. Organize your waste as you use it. A container for cans and plastics, one for cardboard and paper, one for deposit containers, a compost pail and a garbage bin for the rest. Makes garbage/recycle day that much easier.
    We have to use clear bags in this neck of the woods, I’ll be happy when Halifax goes that way too!
