As for the garbage I'd take it to the dump myself but the box of my truck is still full of snow, was shovelling it into the box and I don't have room for the bin lol.

We generate significant amount of green bin waste because of the kid and we cook lots at home.
The garbage bin can be a month and it wouldn't matter too much to us, even with the diaper waste.
What absolutely HAS to be picked up for us is the recycling. We have two cats and they eat canned food and my son goes through a ton of yogurt, we fill up the blue bin very quickly, even when we stacked small containers inside big ones.

City of Vancouver not having a full sized blue bin is a complete joke. Makes me toss a lot of shit straight into the garbage. Sorting 3-4 different types of items and then not having them picked up because they weren’t in a separate bag? Fuck off.

Vancouver still makes you sort it!?! Delta/Richmond smartened up years ago.
All plastic/metal or whatever into one blue bin. All paper/cardboard into one bag. All garbage in bin, all organic in another. No need to sort types of paper or types of plastic/metal

Surrey as well.
If your glass ain’t in the separate glass bin you’re SOL in Vancouver!

No need to sort types of paper or types of plastic/metal | You just described what Vancouver has been doing for at least the past 10 years. Unless things changed in the last 2 years, I moved out to Burnaby now. But it's basically the same as described above as well.
The last time we had to sort out paper was when we still had blue bags for newspaper which felt like eons ago. I even started using the blue bag for regular paper/cardboard at one point cause someone jacked my yellow bag and CoV always accepted it. I don't recall ever needing to sort out different types of plastic/metal though. Quote:

You can easily buy more blue bins from CanadianTire or HomeDepot. Sometimes I have 3 blue bins out there and they accept it, in Burnaby anyway. As long as the correct items are in there.

^ Can someone do a PSA please and call Public Works ... for some reason, they are always the last to know. Guess none of them jump onto RS.

The snow is really coming down hard here in Coquitlam. Had 3-4 inches overnight, and it's been snowing heavily for the last 2+ hours (at least 1 inch).

Once again totally amazed at the amazing job crews doing in South Surrey. My street has been plowed 2X already tonight LOL. I am a born and raised Calgarian, living here for 5 years now. Never in my life have I seen such great plow service. Without fail I know these guys will be back a few times by morning.

Didn't cause an accident, ok. Sure, but you slowed down traffic flow and drove extremely slow to compensate. GTFO.

the great salt shortage is happening again.
most of the cheaper 20kg bags of salt are sold out all over, you have to buy those premium brands that cost 3x as much if you want any.
this morning i was watching the stock of 20kg salt at canadian tire. it went from 550 bags to 0 bags in about 90 minutes.
the good thing is that it seems like temps will become mild next week, but with the snow dump happening tonight i think there's gonna be a big scramble tomorrow to get road salt.
