Posted by navin harish at June 24, 2009 08:03 AMHeehee, you should do a time-lapse photography series of this spot over the strike.
Posted by Dominic at June 24, 2009 09:19 AMWhen I saw the bins being shrink-wrapped on Monday I thought it seemed like a laughably token gesture. They should be completely covered with a lockable cover! But of course the strikers want the maximum negative impact. Looks like they're getting it.

Posted by shane at June 24, 2009 05:07 PMI am so happy I am not in Toronto right now. This is disgusting situation.
Posted by Sally at June 24, 2009 06:26 PMit's amazing how stupid people are. Yeah, go ahead and pull back the wrap and force your garbage into it, even though you and everyone else knows it's just going to pile up.
*facepalm*
Posted by terry at June 24, 2009 08:30 PMI love your pictures, never commented before, but I've been watching them as part of my start of the day for a long time! I'm from Mexico by the way, I had one of those garbage strikes on my home town! Hope your ends soon!
Posted by Paulina O at June 25, 2009 01:20 PMI wonder what it looks like now? Maybe you should do a time lapse video of this? haha.

Posted by Vladimir at June 25, 2009 03:37 PMHi,
I'm a regular reader(?) of your photo blog. And needless to say.. it's just amazing!.. a great set of stunning photographs each with a little story behind!.
And I'm commenting on this because i can really see the amount of garbage 'evey human being' makes.. personally. look at that amount of packaging which is getting wasted..
in the so called underdevoloped areas of the world there is nothing called waste.. they (formerly 'we') use everything till it disappears. A more sustainable way of living!
Well, this doesn't look like a "comment" to your photo.. you may choose not to publish.
anyway.. good works.. keep posting.. best of luck.
Posted by Biju Neyyan at June 26, 2009 01:16 AMIt always seems that garbage strikes occur in the summer. Yuck! It piles up so quickly. I hope the strike is short lived.
Posted by Laurie at June 26, 2009 07:36 AMMaybe now, people in Toronto, will see the impact of throwing away all those fast food containers and plastic bottles. When the garbage we generate is whisked away every few hours, out of site, we don't realize how MUCH of it is out there, and how destructive it is to our planet.
Just a thought. Love your photos.
The filled the public pool near my house on Saturday, it was open for like a week and then the strike stared so they drained it...
