It's nice to see that so many Torontonians recycle!

I love your work Sam!

Cool... so I guess my subway is cleaner that yours :)

Well, at least most of the papers hit their target! Well spotted!

Great to see that Toronto subway users are so eco-aware, though I'm curious about the ad posters on the wall behind...

Recycle, they say. Wouldn'it be better not to produce this kind of litter?

At least they recycle;)

Keep up the good work!

Good one. At least they still aim for the bin although it's full...

Wow...at least people are trying. But it looks like they need larger bins for the papers.

What a pathetic display of our waste of forests.

So the rider picks up a free paper at one end and chucks it at the other. Likely less than 10% of the paper even glanced at, never mind actually read.

No wonder this society is headed down the tube.

This is a great shot, is there a larger resolution version?

You are my daily dose of inspiration. Thank you.

It's so good to see that people are recycling!

Nice light on the back wall.

wowza!

what a crap country england is, the sight of those recycling cans shows me how backwards we are...

Great colors.
Nive envorienment and composition :)

At least they are recycling!!!

I blame the Metro news, I think they should at least bare the cost of part of the clean up. How wasteful is it to grab a paper at the start of your 12 minute subway ride only to throw it out before you even get to work?

Interesting photo. That's a fair few newspapers. I don't think you'd see anything like that where I live.

This is a good shot.I liked the "No Smoking' sign,the sqaure on the right top and the lamps,the posters of the lady with her seducing position and style,the newspapers, the empty litter bin... every thing in its place and time... this shot makes me come back and see what you'll have in your following posts.

Wow, it's nice to see recycling is so important! Nice shot.

It seems that Toronot is like other big cities in the world. Always dirty with papers and garbage. Well done, Sam.

at least they recycle.

Very nice! I like this kind of photography. Just wandering around and looking fot interesting moments and sights!

Nice shot Sam, we don't have a subway here in Belfast so it's nice to see yours...

I think this is a great thing to see, I could see it as an ad for a recycling organization.

Useless bins?

I used to work for the TTC as a janitor and I remember the rushour nightmare at king, union and queen stations... compared to union though that mess is nothing! haha.

ur picture reminds me at a pc game called max payne. nice atmosphere cause of the colors.

People in this city need to remember that REDUCE and REUSE come before RECYCLE.

I'm thinking...

yes, like others have said, at least they are recycling, but i'd be willing to bet that 90% of those papers are the free dailies that you find in our major canadian cities now. what a waste. they have done nothing but polute our cities with useless trash, and our sidewalks with paper pushers. there should be rules about how many copies these companies can print and after over a year of repeately saying "no thanks" to their pushers on the streets, it's time we ban them too. everytime you pick one of those papers up, just remember that the only thing you are doing is encouraging them.

At least there's no "litter". That's a good thing. Toronto has always been really clean in my opinion.

This is a great documentary style photo. Every morning I get off at King station and this is how it looks like almost every morning.
You captured lighting very nicely here.

Those dailies are so boring too! It's interesting that this seems kind of unreal. Like a store just dumped a bunch of old newspapers from yesterday into the recycling bins. It's unfortunately probably a true commuter mess.

Lots of litter, sure... but Toronto's subways seem to have spectacular lighting.

It looks like a painting. I love your work.

Yeah the only thing I don't like about those see through bags is when they're animals inside them...

I always leave and take those metro papers off the seats in the bus where people leave them. When I'm done I leave it on the seat for the next person to leave.

btw, does anyone know what happened to those used newspaper boxes they used to have all through the toronto transit system? They seemed to have disappeared...

hi sam,

wonderful work. i like the colors and the cold / clean atmosphere...

I can't help but imagine the constant walking and tossing that went on...the creation of the pile. approach > toss > disappear into the floor...approach > toss > disappear into the floor... Although logistically difficult during such busyness, it would be cool to see a time lapse of that pile growing. I loved the parking lot one that you did.

A perfect shot again. This is my TTC, this is my Toronto.

Cool shot. It's great to see that recycling is important, but this is a bit nuts.

This is an amazing shot. One of my favourites of yours for sure. One could spend hours setting up studio lighting and not get a result this special. I agree with the 'max payne' comment and also commend Canadians on their recycling habits. My visit to Canada has changed my Australian recycling ways and photos like this should start to change others' too.

at least people were good enough to put their papers in the recycling instead of leaving it on the train!

All well and good to recycle but commuters would do one better by not picking up the 'free' newspapers to begin with!

At least the commuters know which bin to put their papers in.

Someone mentioned something that I found quite interesting... a used paper box? I started doing that for a while. I'd pick up a Now (and I disagree with anyone calling it useless contributor to litter) and then when I was getting out of the bus, train or station I'd just put it back in a Now bin. It's a bit gross in the winter I guess, lol, but I thought it was a good idea...

Yeah.. kudos for recycling, Toronto. But why can't we just read stuff like The Metro on our crackberries? The real kudos should go to NYTimes, who forecast eliminating the paper version of their periodical within a few years.

Good to see people recycling! Less dead trees! I love the picture.

Wow I've never experience the piles of Metro's that bit upon exiting the subway!
