New recycling system: blue bins
According to this, all of Quebec will be getting a new recycling system involving big blue bins.
I thought these things were planned by municipalities, not by the province…?

A couple years back Montreal tried to give me bins that size and most people on my street refused because we have nowhere to put something that large.

Which is to say, Montreal is supposed to be keeping the small bins (but no more bags) when Eco Entreprises Quebec takes over all recycling.

Yeah, the smaller 67 litre bins will still be available:

How will I be able to call recycling greenwashing when the bins are blue?
(Greenwashing because there are very few things that can be made from contaminated plastics. Low quality raw materials don’t magically change into high quality products, and there’s only so much garden furniture people want.)

People in my neighbourhood (Plateau) don’t have space for their 45L brown compost bins — they’re left in the sidewalk all week, I have to step around/over them on every block. And when they’re collected, they’re not returned to the same house — I live at the end of my block and there’s new bins every Monday afternoon. If they’re marked, I”ll walk them back to where they belong, but they’re rarely marked. My building now has twice as many brown bins as tenants in the building. Sometimes people notice theirs went missing, and come take them back from my place… but next Monday more show up on the sidewalk outside my door.
