NO to weekly garbage pick-ups! NON à la collecte de déchets hebdomadaire!

Increasing garbage pick-ups from current 2x / month, to 4x / month, is socially irresponsible, and a waste (no pun intended) of tax-payer dollars, and also increases the carbon footprint due to increased pick-ups. We should be instead trying to follow the European model of 1 pick-up per month. That is a better sustainable model. I have seen people on my street put their green bins out incorrectly on Tuesdays (ie. not Mondays) and they use the green bins for garbage and also throw out 'compost'. It would be much better to spend the money on training / educational aspects of the citizens of Pointe Claire to be environmentally responsible. You, Mr Mayor, have the opportunity to lead Pointe Claire as the leader in Canada, and in North America. When your best supporter and fan came to our house on your behalf, there was no mention of this doubling garbage pick-up. We elected you for change, and for leadership, for which we are counting upon from you, to lead Pointe Claire into the future, not to take us back into the past. It's my Mr. Mayor, for you to show us your quality.

Perhaps the city can set up a few locations where citizens can bring their mid-week trash and we'll see how many families really need it _before_ we go back to weekly collection.

more education is what is needed. And I like the idea of grants and easier access to cloth diapers.

Those who want more garbage pick-ups simply don't know how to compost.

Need this terribly

Perhaps the city can encourage, educate and/or initiate a backyard/garden compost for every household. Reuse, recycle, reduce.

We need to move forward! Not backwards.

Seriously let's not go backwards...

Going back to weekly pickups is like giving up on the environment. We need to be good stewards of our environment. Pointe-Claire residents expect our elected leaders to find solutions!

We already adjusted to garbage pick up once every 2 weeks... Let's be leaders in environmental issues

Let's move forward to a greener way. Not backwards. No weekly garbage pickup!!!

Une fois par 2 semaines est assez

Returning to weekly pick up is a serious step in the wrong direction

Please stay green and reduce waste-no more general garbage pick ups-once every two weeks is enough!

Let's move forward, not backward!

Only a pick up of the green bin is necessary once a week. Regular garbage every two weeks and blue bin every two weeks to discourage over consumption. People should be fined for dumping their household waste in the park bins. The city has to go door to door and petition with an explanation to all citizens about this.

Let's not go backwards

Please, let us educate and accommodate to stay with garbage pickup every two weeks.

The solution is to help people understand the benefits of composting and recycling, understand their objectives and provide information how to do it and to give them the tools to do it. I support this petition.
