This is one of the best ideas I've ever hear how to MIB. It came from a friend of mine in Ottawa recently while making a request on Facebook.
I realize garbage and recycling pick up is different in every community. But, most urban/suburban neighbourhoods have a truck to pick up garbage and another for recycling. Here's what my friend recommends to lower taxes, cut fuel costs, increase staff efficiency and reduce pollution. Did I mention save taxes and cut costs on garbage and recycling pickup? On the days of garbage/recycling pickup in your community, all garbage will be pickup from from the even side of the street and all recycling will be pickup from the odd side of the street. This would eliminate 2 passes by from the garbage and recycling trucks. Think of the money, the gas, and the time we'd save. Think about the sense we would make by neighbours coming together to participate in the most simple of efforts to MAKE IT BETTER!
As for those of you who are concerned about the idea of having to place your garbage or recycling on the other side of the street... think of the big picture. If this effort would allow you to see a nice reduction in your taxes (not to mention the long list of overall benefits) and even gives you a little exercise (lol), why wouldn't you MAKE IT BETTER?
