The leaves seem to have hung on to the trees a little longer this year. Received a call from a resident who didn’t get theirs raked and bagged at curbside until after Island Waste Management’s fall pickup ended. This is a provincial matter, but I’m making some phone calls.
Do You Get Many Calls?
Received a phone call yesterday from someone wishing not to be identified who witnessed a police cruiser "callously" speed through a puddle, thereby splashing an elderly woman on the sidewalk.

Well, is there no-one else who talks to Rob??
How many leaves are placed in non-compostable plastic bags? In Brighton, how about 80% ? I walk around the naburhud (neighbourhood) ((almost 50% improvement in language efficiency)) almost every day, and I see the result. What happens when these “not decomposable” plastic bags get to the compost station?
I’m surprised that they get picked up! In fact, I think they should be left by the curb!!
BUT, if citizens were smart enough to use mulching mowers, most of this problem would be avoided, and the citizens would enjoy more fertilization for their lawns.
Gareth,
The City of Charlottetown is not in the business of waste/compost collection anymore. Island Waste Management Corp is a provincial govt entity; however, my understanding is that non-compostable plastic bags are still allowed for the fall and spring compost pickups. IWMC has a sophisticated machine that separates the bags from the leaves, I am told. And the plastic is recyclable.
