June 01, 2009, the District of Mission made it mandatory that residential curb side garbage be secured in litter bins, and to be no longer left on the curb side in plastic bags. The purpose of this change is to reduce the amount of litter caused by animals (crows, dogs, racoons, etc.) that rummage through curb side garbage! The implication of this change is incredible, as much of the litter in Mission's residential neighbourhoods is caused by the poor handling of and disposal of curb side garbage - and plastic bags make it all to easy for animals to rip apart to get their tasty 'midnight snack'. A round of applause and a standing ovation to the District of Mission for initiating this significant change in curb side garbage collection 'behavior' - another great step towards reducing litter in the environment.
Saying good-bye hasn't been this much fun!
