It's 2024 and the region is still using the tiny blue bin program they started back in, what, 1980 or something? Meanwhile most large urban centres across North America now use the big ass bins on wheels since it's more efficient, but Waterloo Region refuses to change because they were the ones to come up with the blue bins. Those made sense 40 years ago when the population was tiny and you mostly recycled your old tin cans and newspapers. It makes no sense to continue using today.
As of March the Region no longer collects residential recyclables through the blue-box program.
