Dear Editor:
Once again we’re in the middle of the perennial whine-fest about bears being attracted to garbage left out the night before pickup.
Where I live, most driveways are anywhere from 150 metres to half a kilometre long.
To expect someone to run their garbage up these driveways before 7 a.m. borders on ridiculous.
Families are too busy arising and getting ready for work, school, daycare, etc.
The answer is simple: Evening garbage collection, say after 6 p.m.
This gives people time to return from work and school and get the garbage out prior to dinner and any evening activities.
