The Region of Peel has gone to a cart based collection system for garbage, organics and recyclables. Today was the first day for us, according to the calendar we start with garbage and organics. When I got home from work, Chloe and I went for a walk. It seems it will take some time for people to figure this out. After only one use, some of the carts weren’t holding up too well. Spot the wheel that has fallen off of this cart.

Another cart with a broken wheel (on the street).

A lot of people put out the wrong carts or all of their carts.

Some people forgot that they were suppose to start using the carts.

This person went to the trouble of shovelling out a nice flat spot for their carts, put them at the right distance apart, only to have someone park in front of them.

This person put the cart the way, the handle is suppose to face the house, as well there are arrows on the lid indicating that they point to the street.

Another garbage cart with a broken wheel.

We’ll see what next week brings when it is suppose to be recyclables and organics.
