It's not just along St. Laurent. I was driving home Sunday evening and at the Southeast corner of Clark and 4th line in front of the nice stone/fence medians that Mattamy puts up.....two big bags of garbage and an old car battery. Who does that..much less thinks of doing that? Even animals know not to crap where they sleep. Rolling Eyes

It is disappointing you don't see the value in participating in the green cart program. It is unfortunately people like you that cause the town to restrict the # of bags to encourage people out of bad habits.

Hi Synergy and other posters

Yes the Town is working on more enforcement of littering. Last week at the committee meeting I requested staff to review the 1991 littering by-law and step up enforcement which the committee agreed on as our engineering staff is doing weekly pickups on streets such as Louis St. Laurent Blvd. If you do see people dumping please take their licence plates and call the Town either at 905-878-7252 during the day or 905-878-7141 after hours and weekend line.

Monday night committee also approved the accelerated the design and construction of the next section of Louis St. Laurent from Yates to Highway #25 in the next year which will increase the traffic and make it more difficult for anyone to stop and dump, as the design will be similar to Thompson Road and Derry Road with curbs and sidewalks linking the area.

Thanks for replying Colin.

I like what ol Skool said about even animals know not to crap where they sleep ...... animals must be a step up from the a**holes who dump and run.

Funny thing was - that the big pile I saw yesterday was either right by or very near the sign that says no trespassing .... I really like that we have such Law Abiding citizens here in Milton.

I have said this before - I am a big time recycler ..... we are a family of five and my husband brings home the recycle from his office (1 blue bag a week). I have a recycle bin in each of my 3 daughters bedrooms as well as the master bath. I have a little compost bin in the laundry to hold all the lint from the dryer. Each week I have at LEAST 5 blue bins full as well as I have 2 green carts which are usually full, and when it's garbage week we have the big garbage can as well as MAYBE 1 extra bag.

One thing though - if I ever read that Milton or Halton is shipping all the recycle or compost waste to a landfill outside of our area (which they are doing in Peel Region said the Star a couple of weeks back as well as another region) - I will then raise a HUGE stink.

I too would LOVE to see the big blue bins with the lids - but then again - that just gives something else for people to b***h and moan about.

Oh yeah ....

HAPPY EARTH DAY !!

We're a family of four and put out in Peel two garbage bags and two recycle bins weekly. The odd time we have more we always have extra stickers on hand you buy for extra bag.

I was turning onto LSL from Ferguson last night at about 10pm and noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road... I couldn`t tell if they were dumping or rummaging through some stuff that had already been left there - I was turning the other direction...

Holy crap! Looks like someone did alot of dumping along there again last night, maybe contractors (as there are some building materials).

But there's about 6-7 separate piles, about 5-6 bags per pile, spread along every 20 feet!!

Town should go through the bags to try to determin who, and fine them heavily.

I noticed this about three years back. Each trip to the A&P (Metro) had me bantering to my family in disgust. I can't believe people would treat their community with such disrespect, especially when it was just starting to become a community. I was hoping who ever it was would just stop, but it looks like it's just become a monkey see monkey do situation. I don't accept the cut in garbage pick up as an excuse, I'm sure we can all work that out by using extra creativity until the next pick up! I have a single car garage/driveway with two vehicles and have 5 kids in diapers daily as well, and have not had an issue to date. I think if we want to....we could work it out, and not have to deface Milton in such a disgusting way! This is our place to live and I love Milton! I'm sure after that area is developed we won't have that issue anymore but until then....my gosh have respect for your town! Would you do that to your own property?

Perhaps a gigantic sign stating a big fat fine would have one hesitate before tossing their garbage? Or a sign stating "smile you are on camera"

Sorry, I've now continued my daily banter in my car with all of you.

I apologize! Embarassed

When did the dump move from the south side of 4th line? Every night I see pickups and trailers driving down to the dog park to dump their loads!
