New Green Bins

[SkyRider]

Watching CP 24 where they showed the new green bins next to the old green bins. The new ones are HUGE. I asked our councillor's office if we still have the option to use the old green bins. They said that was a "good question".

Why would you want to keep using the old bins when they are totally useless at keeping out pests? So many times I've seen a mess in my backyard after the masked bandits had their buffet. The old bins are just a touch too short too.

Agree- and the latch doesnt always work either.

Skyrider thought that the pest-proof green bins were a good idea until he realized that he couldn't get into them.

The raccoons in my neighbourhood can get into the big garbage bins so they will find a way to get into these new larger green bins. Count on it.

The raccoons will have the new bins hacked by the fall.

As they say where there's a will there's a way

Never had any problems with animal or human pests with the old bins.

I bought one for my mom from Crappy Tire. I think it's the new one with the orange latch that seems to work.

(Raccoons will topple a garbage bin hoping that the lid will come off but these new bins seem reliable).

So there you have it folks! It hasn't happened to Skyrider so it hasn't happened!

Well at least he won't get hit by traffic eating a dead skunk without a lookout!

Watching CP 24 interview Scarborough residents who got the new bins. Reaction is mixed. Some like. Some don't like. Some are resigned because you can't reason with City Hall.

So if he's never crossed an ocean does it mean that the world is flat?

I've seen some of those orange latch green bins around. I think after years of wear and tear, they'll break just like the old metal latch one that are still around.

I usually just put the food scraps out where the coons can get them and they will create the least amount of mess. They're going to get them no matter what. The trick is not to mix the stuff they won't eat with the stuff they will eat because once they break into the green bins, they dump the contents of the bin, eat the good stuff, leave the shit stuff laying everywhere. Just give them what they want and everyone is happy.

Do we give them some Grey Poupon too?

Most highly evolved creature on earth eh?
Can't even outsmart a raccoon.:doh:
I say we put phosphorus in their food.
When the glowing little bastards show up we blast them.:rockon:

Awesome idea! Why didn't anyone else think of that?
