The city of Burnaby has switched over to bi-weekly garbage collection. I do split most of my garbage (I'll admit not completely) but I find myself using up most of the space in my garbage bin still. It's still early so maybe I still need to make more adjustments.

I think it's kind of unfair that we still pay the same amount of taxes for reduced services now, and not only that I'm thinking I might have to upgrade my garbage bin to a larger size which will cost more as well. I know that we live in the lower mainland and some of you will probably say it's the cost of living here.

I'm just wondering how others have adjusted to this change. Did you find yourselves getting a larger garbage bin? Recycling more often (ie: sorting all garbage down to the smallest of plastics)? Reducing the amount of waste you create? Or dumping elsewhere... haha.

I guess for me, I'll have to really sort out my garbage as I have mentioned I don't completely split up everything. Hopefully that works out for my family and I. If not, I guess I'll have to upgrade my garbage bin to a larger size.

[CCA-Dave]

Lol. I'll have to really sort out my garbage as I have mentioned I don't completely split up everything. This is one of the main reasons why you've been reduced to bi-weekly collection. Gone are the days where there is unlimited pits to dump trash in. Nobody wants a new dump near their area, the cost of shipping garbage different places is going up, the sites that do collect it want more money and we can't burn it or dump it in the ocean (as we've done in the past). So you can either pay more, or they can cut you to bi-weekly service.

Not saying it isn't annoying when you have to switch, but consider the reasons why and you might be a little less whoa-is-me about having to actually sort out your garbage. I mean, gee, it's 2017. It's a bit like complaining you can't smoke in a restaurant.

Squamish has been on bi-weekly pickup for at least ten years. It takes some adjusting, and there are definitely a couple of times a year where I ended up with a garbage bag in the garage for a week or two because I was 'over', but it is manageable. It became far easier once they brought in the biweekly organics bin, though I will admit I absolutely hated the thing in my garage/shop. If I can tear down parts cars, build rally cars and restore classic cars...as well as live a normal life with a house of people...and not have an issue with bi-weekly pickup, a normal family should have no problem. I think I keep Costco's blue-shop towel aisle on a fresh rotation single-handedly, and there is LOTS of a parts car which can't go to metal recycling.

[ziggyx]

Well the reason why I mentioned that I don't completely split up all my garbage is because I remember when I did sort out all my plastics back in the day, the recycler that comes by to pick up the blue bin would pick out certain plastics and leave it in the blue bin. Well guess where that went after... to the garbage. After that I only threw in plastics that I knew would be recycled. Since then it just developed as a bad habit and maybe things have changed.

[carisear]

off topic, but everyone PLEASE don't use the word biweekly. it's completely ambiguous. say once every two weeks, or twice a week.

anyways here in Vancouver we've had it for a while, and it SUCKS ASS. I just had a kid and the amount of garbage I have has now shot up exponentially. I'm pretty decent with what I recycle, but during the winter snow storm, when we didn't get garbage collection, it ended up being a month before it was emptied. that's just unacceptable in my opinion.

[320icar]

I live in Richmond and we have recycle pick up once a week and garbage once every two weeks.

Our recycle bins are overflowing, we compost/organic waste everything we can and then throw out what's left. In our home it's my fiancé and I, and upstairs is the landlord, his wife and his daughter.

We don't even get close to filling that garbage bin. Not. Even. Close.

I think if you were more diligent with recycle and organic waste, you wouldn't have an issue

Yes. The rules HAVE changed. Review them

[Hondaracer]

If you've got a place to store garbage besides the bin just make a dump run once a month for 10-$15

One thing that annoys me between surrey and moving to vancouver is Vancouver still uses the stupid old blue bin as opposed to having the full sized can like the green/black

:pokerface:

[winson604]

Live in Van, we've been on this rotation for a long time now. It really hasn't affected us a whole lot as the Green Bin now takes food scraps and the recycling box takes more types of items than before leaving not a whole lots of stuff that needs to go into the Garbage other than diapers Styrofoam just to name a couple.

[Mr.HappySilp]

If they want people to swtich the city should provide the bins and also the garbage bags. Because you can't just use regular plastic bags for your organic stuff now and those bags do cost money. Yet nothing is being done. Till the city actually pays for us to buy those bags or give it to us I will contiune to use plastic bags.

How ignorant to put fucking plastic bags in green waste, use a bucket or somthing ffs..

[tiger_handheld]

if bi weekly meant twice a week - i wish i got paid twice a week!

[Raid3n]

off topic, but everyone PLEASE don't use the word biweekly. it's completely ambiguous. say once every two weeks, or twice a week.

..... lol the common use of bi-weekly is every two weeks. i've never seen it used to describe twice a week. perhaps we should switch to using fortnightly then?

Wait till their poops get bigger. The standard 2 can size, is just right for us (Family of 4; two kids still in diapers.) I would say easily half our garbage consists of diaper genie tubes.

Pickup delays really depend on your location. During the winter storms, my area in Vancouver (SE Van) luckily didn't get missed at all.

[murd0c]

Surrey has had that for a couple years now and mission where I live has that as well. They also have the rot pot for all the food waste. It's not hard at all to separate your garbage but I do admit its a hassle at first.

[ziggyx]

Yes. The rules HAVE changed. Review them

Thanks, I will be taking a look. Just been a bit busy with everything else in my life.

I just wanted to see other people's thoughts and how they were coping with the change.

I normally don't try to come off sounding too harsh and I'm not sure if you meant to be or not since it's hard to judge over written responses. But I think people could always be a bit more sincere, it definitely doesn't hurt.

[320icar]

It's nothing personal against you good sir, so please don't take it as offensive.

That being said, I have a short fuse for things like recycleing and littering (within reason). I am not an environmentalist by any means. I drive a car and motorcycle and spray paint and all that good shit. But being born and raised in BC, a province founded and dependant on its beautiful nature.... It kills me when I see people litter, throw shit our, not recycle, all that stuff. And it's not just new immigrants or anything. My in-laws live in the interior where there are NO recycle programs. Every single thing gets tossed in the garbage. Food scraps, cans, bottles, plastic. It's disgusting.

I grew up with my mom religiously abiding by the three R's. If she caught you not cutting. Off the paper label on a soup can before recycling it, she'd yell at you.

[carisear]

:pokerface:

if bi weekly meant twice a week - i wish i got paid twice a week!

... not sure why quite a few people don't understand that it means both twice a week and once every two weeks ... maybe i'm just old and it's not taught that way anymore?

check out the first hit on google, on m-w.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/biweekly


..... lol the common use of bi-weekly is every two weeks. i've never seen it used to describe twice a week. perhaps we should switch to using fortnightly then?

i'd say I've seen it used 50-50 for both meanings -- but i'm old :/

ANYWAYs enough English lessons.

I've been using the small garbage bin but probably need to upsize to the next one, because yeah, those diaper genie bags take up the majority of room.

I also wish Vancouver had bigger recycling bins since *every* blue box on my street is always overflowing.

btw, everyone look at what can be recycled now -- it's crazy. you can recycle Styrofoam! (did not know that until my last visit to return-it)

[hi-revs]

A lot of used tissues and paper towels should go in the green bin.
Light cardboard from takeout containers etc. can also go in the green bin as long as it doesnt have some sort of plastic coating on it.

I put all the natural stuff into the green bin as long as it doesnt have some sort of strong coating on it. Take out wooden chop sticks, and "party" paper plates included during summer bbq months.

You typically shouldnt have THAT much garbage for a household... to fit into the standard sized garbage cans...

Maybe youre not recycling enough? A lot of your "garbage" might be recycleable.

p.s. my green bin and recycle gets picked up every week, and garbage is every 2 weeks.

[Tapioca]

Well, the goal of Metro Vancouver is zero waste, so really, the only things you should be throwing in the garbage are diapers and sanitary products. Everything else should be recycled or put in the green bin. At least the City of Burnaby has a facility where you can take things like scrap metal, styrofoam, and excess cardboard for free.

I don't see this being an issue if you've been managing your garbage for a while (unlike the inconsiderate people in high rises). Just be a little more aware of what you're throwing away before you throw it away.

[Mr.HappySilp]

So you're just like all the fobs in high rises that ruin it for everyone else.

How ignorant to put fucking plastic bags in green waste, use a bucket or somthing ffs..

Sure I will do once the city actually supply everyone with a bucket for our kitchen to put our green waste in. But nope. We have to get our own bucket and pay extra to get those biodegradable out of our own pockets while the city is reducing service and increase our fees.

If they city want us to use biodegradable bags provide everyhouse with them along with a bucket to put in our kitchens.

People are already screw by all the tax we pay and we just keep rolling over.

[ziggyx]

It's nothing personal against you good sir, so please don't take it as offensive.

I'm actually a girl. :pokerface:

lol jk

But if other people are managing then it shouldn't be a problem for myself either. Just gotta get everyone in the household to do the same. I noticed our tenant using the green bin as a regular garbage bin last night which I need to talk to them about. I wasn't happy about that at all.

Well actually in Vancouver when we introduced the Green Bin + Biweekly Garbage Collection we gave every household a Food Container and lowered the price of Garbage Collection.

[Dragon-88]

Each week I have literally only one safeway bag full of garbage to dump and its mostly just cat shit. Everything else gets sorted in the plastic, cardboard, compost, glass and paper bins.. Its really not that hard to separate your garbage and plus it really helps the environment.

[Mr.HappySilp]

Well actually in Vancouver when we introduced the Green Bin + Biweekly Garbage Collection we gave every household a Food Container and lowered the price of Garbage Collection.

Not in Burnaby. We have to get our own bucket for the kitchen and our garbage collection price is the same. So less service for the same price = increase in price for service.

[Great68]

Greater Victoria has been on two week pickups since before I moved here (10yrs).
They've been on the separate Food Waste + Garbage bins for 5 years.

I recycle absolutely everything possible, so my garbage bin is only ever about half full in those two weeks.


I've never really had an issue.


If they city want us to use biodegradable bags provide everyhouse with them along with a bucket to put in our kitchens.


Oh fuck off you cheap shit, a box of 125 compostable liners is like $5 at Costco and lasts me a year

The whole idea is to reduce waste going into the landfills so they don't fill them up as fast.
You bitch about $5 compostable liners, how would you like to pay another $200 a year on your property tax to pay for a new landfill instead?

[geeknerd]

My garburator is my compost bin. :D

You are so fucking lazy and selfish. Because the city won't babysit you, you can't just man up and be a decent human being and give a shit about how your actions affect your surroundings?

[mr_chin]

If your bin is full days before pick up, then most likely you're just throwing whatever you can in your garbage.

It's time to start learning separate your garbage. We have 6 people in our household, 4 with the landlord, 2 as the tenant and our garbage bin is completely full on pick up days.

Garbage consists of tissues, small paper/plastic stuff, etc. Basically anything that is small enough to not really be able to recycle. I can't imagine you'd have THAT much garbage before the pick up day.

If the city is determine to eliminate waste then they should be providing the tools and also lower the cost for us. Example look at most food courts now, after you finish you just bring the tray to the cleaning station and they people sort out the garbage for you. Before that they actually have different bins for different items and most people just dump all the stuff into the garbage. If you want people to do something make it easy and cost effective for them.

[westopher]

You think it's hard to buy a years supply of compostable bags at the grocery store for 25 bucks and empty your plates into it? Everyone else in here can do it, why can't you? Are you that useless?

[Hondaracer]

you need somone to chew the food for you?

the compostable bags from costco are $5 for 40-50 wax lined, paper bags.

If the city provided you a plastic bucket to keep the green waste in, i'm sure you'd be bitching about the smell/cleaning the bucket and would either buy bags, or continue using plastic bags like all the fobs. So outside of coming into your kitchen and sorting it out for you, i think you're SOL bud..

In our old building it was honestly despicable the fucking morons who would continue to put plastic bags into the recyclables. It got to the point where the building manager obviously realized it was just fobs doing it so she made massive signs with a big X through plastic bags because basic words were not working.. and still.. people didnt get it.

the problem is in a high rise, the city will stop picking up green waste all together if this is a constant problem. so the fucking morons who cant even understand pictures a child could figure out are ruining it for everyone else. It was lucky i never caught somone dumping a plastic bag in there because they would have gotten an ear full.

[Presto]

You bitch about $5 compostable liners, how would you like to pay another $200 a year on your property tax to pay for a new landfill instead?

Personally, I'm okay with that. As a married couple without kids, I really don't mind paying a bit more if that means I can continue my slack way of life of killing the environment, slowly. :D

[Adorkami]

Burnaby here as well, 4 in my house, 2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 baby and we haven't run into any issues as it's pretty simple. I'm just more curious how the summer months are going to go when I have more grass/branches to throw in my green bin.

[Traum]

You lucky bastards that are living in a house... at least you have the option of ordering a bigger garbage bin.

I'm stuck in my shxtty condo, and you wouldn't believe how much shxt and junk people produce... And then when the bins are full, these gross fxxks just leave their shxt, recyclables, and composts all over the place... I've already complained to the property management corp before, and we got an extra compost bin. But now, even that generally gets full before compost collection day...

Fxxking pisses me off...

[6o4__boi]

well...goddamn

TIL that biweekly really IS ambiguous

i should look into getting that paycheque twice a week


i bitched about it when i lived in Van...eventually cleaning the compost bin just became the norm and i stopped giving a shit
i've never used biodegradeable liners on my bins...just take a bunch of flyers or newspapers and use that shit to line the compost bin

[Bouncing Bettys]

My family of 4, with one in diapers, shares a bin with our landlord and her family. We switched to bi-weekly recently. I am having to take bags to work, stuff them in the neighbour's bin (we have permission), or do a dump run if it gets bad. I've had cardboard rejected because I didn't flatten it all: I couldn't fit it all in the yellow bag so I put the rest of the flattened boxes in a cardboard box. I've had bottle collectors rummage through my blue bin and I get in shit for my recycling being all over the street. When I lived in Nova Scotia, they had garbage inspectors, who would go through your bags to make sure there were no recyclables in the garbage or vise versa and you would receive penalties and fines if caught.

[Gnomes]

Oh fuck off you cheap shit, a box of 125 compostable liners is like $5 at Costco and lasts me a year



Confirmed that this 125 liners are not in stock at Costco Willington

I find that with grass clippings put them in the organic bin and bundling branches (tie with rope) they have always been taken away.

renters are a nightmare unless you get on them right away about sorting out there garbage. I have pulled shit out and put it back on there door step and asked them them to sort there stuff out. This was after getting couple warnings from the city regarding stuff in the wrong bin.

[AzNightmare]

Weird question. But is it bad to just dump a lot of toilet paper into the toilet and flush?

When I get sick and have a runny nose, I go through a lot of TP. (Not tissue, cause TP is cheaper). The whole can is literally full of TP wads... Sometimes I would just dump some of it in the toilet and flush.

I never really thought of it until now. Would it have been better to put it in the biodegradable bin?

[blkgsr]

I think if you were more diligent with recycle and organic waste, you wouldn't have an issue

this, i downgraded to the small bin in coquitlam for garbage, saves spaces outside my house and money on my utilities

we normally have 2 safeway bags of garbage every two weeks

the rest is all green waste or recycling.

you can recycle styrofoam containers and the trays your meat comes on, just wash them and put them in the bin with your aluminum cans that you take in for money

you'd be surprised at what can be recycle now a days

the return it place is best, no excuses unless you're just a lazy piece of shit

The only thing I'm wondering is how old are you? 60's at least?

Totally agree though, news paper, napkins/paper towels, pizza boxes, paper take out boxes that are not wax lined, paper bags from grocery stores. I've got an endless supply of this crap to fill my bins and or throw the food into before throwing it into the bin.

[B!tch]

ouch! no had chores at a young age. No fancy compost bucket either

My mom, who is 76, lives in an assisted living facility and each unit has a compost bucket that they leave outside their door every night. So dont complain about having to do a bit of extra work sorting your recycling.

only difference from composting is back then it was just fruit and veggie scraps.

[MelonBoy]

Upgrading your garbage bin from a smaller size to extra large is super cheap.. I did it myself

Also, I always have a crap ton of plastic bags in my house.. I use it to carry/hold my compost in my house. When I dump my garbage out. I empty the bag into the compost bin and throw the plastic into the garbage.. Its really not that hard lol

[freakshow]

I bought bags from home depot clearly marked, for the explicit purpose of using for a green bin. Then City of Richmond refuses to collect my green bin because i'm using the biodegradable bags.. :@

Are you talking huge garden waste bags or kitchen bags for food scraps. At my home in Richmond we use food scrap biodegradable bags (or none, just slop the waste into our large green bin). And garden clippings go straight into the large green bin (very large, we've never filled it). Our neighbors often use the large brown paper garden trimming bags (not in a green bin) and never had an issue. They have to be paper compost bags, NOT the green plastic "biodegradable" bags

Edit: """Place yard trimmings into your Green Cart along with your food scraps. (Extra yard trimmings can go in large paper yard waste bags or additional labeled Green Cans.) Please note that plastic bags including compostable/biodegradable plastic bags are NOT accepted."""

Compost guys came by yesterday afternoon, were going around picking up the bins like usual, when I happened to be leaving for the afternoon. Came out to this... Quickly went up to the guys and told them they are leaking rotten food and waste all over our complex, got a "yea we'll send someone to clean it up I guess". Now day 2 and the whole place smells like a landfill and I'm sure rats/gulls have smelled it by now, it's an absolute joke. Have called the company but they refuse to give a straight answer about what they will do to fix this. Hate incompetent people/companies

I would be pretty pissed if they didn't clean that shit up pronto

i'd take it to the media and threaten to go public with it if they still give you the run around

ya that's about the only recourse now a days....or pick it up and drive to their office and dump it on their front door...just a thought

unrelated, but theres some dog who keeps taking a massive dump on my front lawn. My wife has put up signs reminding owners to clean up, but they don't. If I ever find out which owner doesn't clean up, imma gonna take a shovel and take it all to their front door!

Stupid irresponsible pet owners!

Different service providers have different rules with regard to things such as being able to use bio bags or not so make sure to check before using them. I think COV residents are also unable to use the bags.

Yah CoV only wants paper lines used, not the green bio bags. I believe their explanation is that they don't know the long term effects of the bags... but I believe that is bullshit.
