It's clearly because more people use the bins in the DT lane, which means more pickups by Waste Management, which means more money.

    Saying they are doing it for the environment but did pilots to get rid of their reusable cups (the mugs), promote disposable cups with promotions (roll up the rim), and have more things shipping around the country then ever before (gas/carbon emissions) is just a bold face lie and it's annoying. Just say it's to save money.
    I'm sure money is the main reason they were removed however, I can't blame them. Sure I used them everytime but I can't blame them for not wanting to dispose of people's personal garbage. People, including myself, abused the system by dumping bags full of their personal garbage. Garbage that should be put out to the curb where you live.

    I'm agnostic, but for some reason it irks me that as I drive around town CHRISTian Churches are posting messages of "Happy Holiday's" "Enjoy this Advent Season" I mean, if anyone can create an argument to skimp on being 'politically correct' and say Merry Christmas - one would think it would be the blood CHRISTians!

    am I wrong? it really seems like this PC thing has really gone too far.

    Amen Brother... Amen!!!

    I wonder if there is some legalistics behind it... i wonder if the churches are afraid that they will lose government support (Charity Status) if they don't abide by all the rules.

    But I totally agree... Churches should be fighting to keep the phrase Merry Christmas alive and well!

    I can see the counter argument of wanting to be inclusive and inviting to non-Christians, but then, just say both.

    "Enjoy this Advent Season" is a ridiculously religious message and interpreting it as PC is a perfect example of how the War on the War on Christmas is a complete joke.


    As for "Happy Holiday's", the grammar is the only thing that bothers me.

    Church is dying, they need to appeal to many. Also I've heard that the crossover between multiple religions in families is much bigger now. So they want to be inviting to the Husband who's Jewish, or the wife that's Muslim to their christian followers.

    By crossover I mean like the Jewish partner in a relationship now is more likely to go to christian church than in the past.

    The war on the Queen's English! That's what should be irking everyone.

    People keep fretting over what colour Starbucks' cups are in December while our language turns into a variety of poop emojis.

    But serious it annoys me so much when at a meeting you are discussing point #1 and then someone else brings up a point that is on the agenda as point #5.... just flipping wait until we get there.

    This leads to meetings getting so off track and sporadic that a meeting that should only last an hour last 2 hours.
