OK, this isn’t directly money related, but …garbage strikes are miserable all ’round.   Here’s someone who can help, and here’s his pricing (totally reasonable):Thomas Goodall of Fresh Start Recycling. Cell:  778-773-2297Office: 604-637-6400His offer:

$5 per bag, you can fit two standard curb-side bags in a bin, so each

bin is $10 approx. 

We’re charging $5 per bag for 1 – 5 bags, and $3 for

each additional bag when it’s 6+. 4 bags are $20, 5 bags are $25, 6 bags

are $28 and so on. 

The minimum charge is $20 per house, but if I can

get a bunch of houses in a neighbourhood than I may not charge the

minimum per house.  

If you support the unions or labour you’re free to write the mayor a

letter, but that letting a raccoon have a field day in your garage with

your trash is not the way to solidarity; It’s just hosting a raccoon

picnic.
