Could Montreal go “zéro déchet”?
We’re running out of landfill sites near the city, so could Montreal go zéro déchet like the town described in Sweden? Are we ready to sort waste into seven different bags?

Hell yes! I will help my entire block do it. Time to grow up, east coasters.

Well, the city will need to start installing collective bins.

A bunch of cities are starting up composting pickups, which if well done can make a huge difference. Most garbage most households produce is organic waste. 2nd most is recyclables.
I have a compost bin in the yard and we recycle as much as possible, so we throw out one small grocery bag of garbage a week, sometimes not even one.
Family of 3. our garbage mainly consists of meat products, styrofoam, coffee cups.
If everyone is on the same page, and the alternatives are there, it really is not very hard.
