Here in Mississauga, we recycle all of which Malc recycles (except the boxes are different colours). We currently have a 3 garbage bags per household limit each week. I really wonder how some families reach this limit when my family of 4 puts out 1/2 bag per week along with 3 boxes of recyclying. All of our organic waste is composted in our backyard. Our city also takes yard wastes (leaves, etc) on routine schedules.
Our next door neighbour, Toronto, does the same but also has a Green program which allows for pickup of their organic wastes.
Unfortunately, the majority of the GTA's (Greater Toronto Area) waste is shipped to Michigan which means we don't take responsibilty for our own waste.
