I will say I like the new 1+1 collection. I also haven't noticed any increase in trash in my neighborhood. You’d think with the city desperate for money they would have stepped up enforcement.

In other words, the promise of better enforcement for these violations was merely lip service.

I've kind of stayed out of the argument on this one because I generate little enough trash that one- or two-day-a-week pickup makes no difference to me, but frankly, if the city wants to make money by fining people for putting out bags of trash that get ripped open by rats, I'm all for it. They should've been doing that all along. That said, they're still not doing it in my neighborhood.
