New Plateau trash cans have 'binners' in mind Refundable bottles, cans get picked up within hour when left on shelf affixed to public bins When you walk along St-Laurent Boulevard or Mont-Royal Avenue, you may notice public garbage cans with a new look. The Plateau-Mont-Royal borough is trying to make it easier for so-called "binners" to collect refundable bottles and aluminum cans, by adding a metal bracket around public garbage cans on the borough's main commercial streets. Rather than trash their beverage container, anyone walking by can place it on the shelf, so a bottle collector can collect it without having to rummage through the contents of the garbage. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/recycling-plateau-mont-royal-binners-1.5036222 |

Isn't it, though? Binners don't have to worry about getting cut with broken glass, stabbed with syringes, or getting a handful of dog poop, and the needy get more money. Bonus..... far more glass, aluminum and plastic gets recycled. |

Yes, that IS a great idea. I bought a bottle of whisky at Costco in Iowa when visiting DS and I see that it had a 5-cent deposit on it. I'd love to be able to leave it in a place like that on my next visit to Des Moines.

That's a great idea. Plus if you're thirsty and walking by, you can see if any of them have a little drink left in them!
