Funny, I had forgotten all about that Smiths Falls scam.

I wonder what more we could do on the 3 Rs though. Some obvious options include recycling and composting options in apartment buildings, and more waste sorting before the final tip into the dump. Both of those options have been in place for over a decade in Nova Scotia. What serious efforts are being made to find shoplifting-resistant solutions to packaging, that would also allow for decent inventory control?

I suspect the construction waste problem will just get worse with modern materials. It's a bit like our preference for throwaway furniture, these days.
