OCT

You guys have a different list from us, of what goes and doesn't go into the blue bin. They're allowing us to put more stuff in now, that we couldn't before.

If only they could make the manufacturers/distributors cut down on the packaging ... that would be great.

OCT

Sylvie - I hear you on the packaging and the dissimilarities ... I often wonder why they are different even within a region

OCT

I wondered about that too ... it probably has to do with the sorting plant they end up at, and what they are able to do there. Whatever the reason, it would be so much easier if you guys could recycle more. They should fix the 'plants', so that EVERYONE can recycle more.

Sylvie - while you may be right that's not enough to justify the differences
