All of the potential complaints an individual household might have about biweekly service (insufficient storage space; odours; attracting vermin) can be mitigated through greater use of the blue bin. And four-bag limit is extremely generous. I wonder when it will drop to two.
I wonder also if we’ll find out that larger green bins are required (other jurisdictions use larger bins than ours).
IIRC, it's a four-bag limit, and you can buy tags if you need to go over the limit, and every household will get a certain number of free tags per year that they can use. Also, the Region may have special weeks set aside where people are allowed to put out more garbage, such as around the holidays. And there will be special exemptions for people who need it. The system is very generous.
