Blue boxes

Local resident upset with new recycling program in B.C.

Re: letter to editor “Please trash new recycling plan” by Jean Collier:

Our household and most neighbors agree with Jean’s comments regarding the difficulties in recycling with the new MMBC system.  Due to age and mobility issues our neighborhood will be going from avid recyclers to little to no recycling, and I suspect the only items that will be left out for pick-up will be the blue boxes themselves.

Due to inability to store and move the new bins, in our household we will therefore be going from one or two large blue bags per pick-up to none, with all of the recyclable material now going to the landfill. Great job reducing waste B.C. government..
