I don't think it makes much sense to impose a 2 bags/house/week limit with the intention of seriously diverting waste from the landfill when the average number of bags thrown out/house/week is already below that. Even though the bi-weekly bag limit is at 4, it'll motivate people to use the green bin to get rid of their organics.
Waterloo Region has always been a progressive on major issues (urban planning and transit among others). Waste management shouldn't be any different.
Please define progressive.
In saying Waterloo Region has been progressive on many issues, I meant that local government have, for the most part, had the courage/foresight to proceed with many projects that were contentious at the time they were implemented (Conestoga Parkway, investing in rapid transit, imposing an urban growth boundary) but were meant to improve the quality of life for future generations. I guess the term "progressive" is largely subjective based on the person's views on various issues.
