I know that different regions accept different items in their respective green bins, as some of them treat their organics much more rigorously, post-collection. For example, Halton Region accepts coffee cups in their green bins, as the organics treatment phase incorporates elements to break down the waxy cups, whereas coffee cups need to go in the garbage here.
On the issue of garbage collection and the 4-bag limit, have we heard about a universal garbage bag standard that'll be rolled out? 4 grocery sized garbage bags vs. 4 large black plastic bags would contain vastly different amounts of garbage.
