“Garbage”, scream “Garbage.” Scream it loud. Scream it in the dark. Toronto's garbage bin strategy hit a major snag on the way to success.
The new economic Depression caused falling demand for recycled crap. And all commodity prices are demand driven.
Late last summer the Toronto City Council decided to force launch a garbage gathering program employing recycled products and bins on wheels. Blue bins and gray bins now line street like one of those Civil War parades south of the 49th.
They were also supposed to be a labour saver. But many is the stream of curses trying to drag the hundred pound monsters over the banks of snow. The bins programs designed for the burbs of Florida works in the summer.
So the Toronto City Council succeeded. They now have to raise taxes further. The recycled products are now going to be a very expensive way to fill land.

The next step is obvious.
You raise money to put the recycled goods into the landfill site by hiring a lot of 'garbage police' to fine people for not recycling properly, just before the recycled stuff goes into the landfill.
It makes perfect, circular sense. I should know because I was once a bureaucrat.
Problem solved. Next problem?
