These new container bins are not off to a promising start.[/caption]
Since their introduction along West Broadway, I've seen very, very, few returnable containers in Encorp's new Return-It container bins; just lots of trash. Despite the blue paint job, and the blaring signage -- not to mention there being a grey garbage bin beside each one of them -- supposedly recycling-savvy Vancouverites are taking them for just one more place to throw their food wrappers, and drink cups, and dog poop.
To be fair, I've only sampled the bins along the stretch between Cambie Street in the east to Blenheim Street in the west. That's just under 5 km. A much shorter distance than Google first thought it was.
