I'm going three weeks between garbage pickups. It's no big deal here. I'd often skip garbage day and go four weeks. How are people generating all this garbage? I don't understand.

@human3500 @erin I have very little garbage now that soft plastics have been added to the recycling category. But now I have a huge volume of blue recycling. I'll have about 300-400L of recycling by the time of next weeks pickup. Stupid lettuce boxes and plastic bags, and Ford's meddling probably means producers are just charging more to pay to landfill it anyway.

@human3500 I typically have half a bag come garbage day. Not sure how people typically have so much. This week though I took advantage of being able to put out 6 because I have a ton of bags full of insulation and drywall from my basement flood. @johnefrancis
