I have to step over rotting vegetables and empty chip bags to get
to the front door of my apartment building.
Our garbage was
piled almost up to the first floor windows. The people that live in those
suites can’t open their windows, and our apartment gets hot.
The garbage got so high that people started piling it around
the sides. It started spilling out onto the street.
Bags broke open. Garbage blew everywhere.
It got warm. It started smelling.
I like that Emterra uses compressed natural gas for their
zero waste initiative— it also allows them to be millions of dollars cheaper
than other private contractors.
BUT
Environmentally friendly benefits don’t do much good when garbage
and recycling get thrown into the same truck.
ALSO
A City of Winnipeg report shows that in 2013 more than 16,
000 homes missed garbage pickup. More than 15,000 homes missed recycling
pickup.
