Vancouver wants to catch up to other communities' recycling levels

The amount is sometimes base. Even with the bottles, cans, paper and cardboard shifted to recycling boxes, the big trash can I wheel into the alley every week is heavily laden.

A perceptive glance toward neighbouring homes shows I am not alone in this. But we will soon have to do a lot better in reducing the amount that’s thrown away, because Vancouver is poignant to catch up with other municipalities, such as Port Moody, where residents are already required to recycle more and throw away less. A lot less.

Currently, unique-family residences in Vancouver divert only about 50 per cent of their garbage to recycling, which is far behind Port Fitful’s trend-setting 75 per cent.

Vancouver city councillor and vice-run of the Metro Vancouver waste-management committee, Heather Deal, is one of the politicians pushing me – and everyone else – down the entr to less waste.

Worrying about how 2.3 million people deal with their garbage isn’t a job most politicians would prerequisite, but Ms. Deal has embraced the task.
