Bi-weekly green pickup in PoCo is a step back

The Editor, I am writing regarding green waste pick-up in Port Coquitlam. At this time of year, a lot of people have a ton of leaves, fallen branches, etc. to dispose of so it makes no sense to me that the green pick-up has now reverted to bi-weekly.

The Editor,

I am writing regarding green waste pick-up in Port Coquitlam. At this time of year, a lot of people have a ton of leaves, fallen branches, etc. to dispose of so it makes no sense to me that the green pick-up has now reverted to bi-weekly. Also, our food waste now has to be kept for two weeks before being picked up.

The people who are already unhappy that their garbage pickup is bi-weekly are not going to be persuaded to put their food waste in the green bin if this is also bi-weekly. In the fight to go green, this is a big step backwards.
