Is it too much to ask that the Region hold this “Swap Your Broken Blue Box” event at a time and day when most working people are able to take advantage of it.
Fri. from 10 a.m – 1 p.m. is not such a time.

Who decided on these hours? The welfare recipients and other people who don’t have jobs, who live in apartment buildings where they don’t have individual recycling bins can go during the day, but the home owners who have the bins and of course have jobs with which to pay mortgages can’t go because they are working? Ludicrous …..
