So it’s been approved – we will be getting a garbage incinerator in Durham Region. In fact it’s not too far from where I live. I’d prefer the province would find better means of handling our garbage. For starters, they should start changing all manufacturers the cost of disposing their packaging materials. Many European countries already do this, and what do you know – they find better, smarter ways to package their products and still make money!
So until that happens we end users are stuck recycling their packaging for them. For a while I tried leaving all of the packaging at the store. For example toothpaste. Why the box? I left it in the store a few times but you get so many weird looks. Eventually I resolved to simply recycle the cardboard boxes.
What do you think of the new incinerator? It’s not a done deal yet so don’t fret. I am interested in knowing what everyone thinks about it though.
