Just to let you know, I don't water the lawn 24/7 but I do wash my car in the driveway with a Green soap, and I make a "dam" with a second hose to keep the suds on my grass. Not because I love the baby seals but to avoid a $500 fine. And I do recycle to keep excess garbage out of the landfill; we usually have two or three bags a week for 4 adults and two kids. This is to avoid paying a company to recycle my garbage for me.

I'm happy those fines exist then, forcing you to do what you should do anyway.

Remember you can't just throw those out. There's mercury in them. They need to be disposed of properly.

Remember people  GLUTANY IS A SIN!!! hahah Maybe they should have a chute for cans/bottles and a chute for garbage to PROMOTE your lazy ass from spending 5 of the 1440 minutes you get every single day to put the empty milk jugs and cans/bottles in recycling vs down the hole to nowhere.  :lol:

It wouldn't really work for glass. The bottles would explode at the bottom, which would be dangerous if anyone happened to be near by for whatever reason. A better idea would be to remove the chute.

I think however Toronto will sort your recycling for you now. I recall when I lived in Etobicoke they'd sent me a pamphlet saying something like that. It obviously wont get sorted in the normal garbage, but if you put cardboard in with the cans, it'll get sorted. Apparently.
