Is this a Canada-wide thing, or just how your community does refuse
handling?


So it's not logical to stuff the bags into the Subaru and run to the
dump - it's the stinky stuff you want/need to get rid of pdq.

Um, I think you might be reading too much into this -- it just looked
like a big green garbage can to me. And it looked like John was just
dumping regular trash into it.

(the bins that are provided in my community for recycling have specific
markings on them identifying them as such -- do these 'greenboxes'?)

But I dunno. Enlighten me. :)
