[/caption]It seems a report in the Toronto Star has caused the outing of a little known rule for collection personal who drive our streets to collect household recycling. In an effort to achieve maximum collection efficiency- that is, the amount a team can pick up in a shift, there is a rule that does not allow the flexibility of the driver to pick up any excess recycling.
This action could result in a risk of homeowners choosing not to participate but instead throw their excess recycling or compost into the garbage, a city report states
This information was presented to council in a motion for information request by by Councillor Ootes, seconded by Councillor Stintz
Their motion ends with this paragraph
There should not be a limit placed on the amount of recycling that a homeowner can dispose of at their curbside. There should be a convenient, simple and encouraging program that allows for excess recycling to homeowners when the need does occur.
Full motion jump below.
