Though it bas only been a week or so, virtually everyone 1 have corne across, talking'about these Big Blue Bins agree that there bas got to be a more suitable location - perhaps down at the Car Pool lot near the 401. The spot is almost comnpletely empty rnost of the time and seems a WASTE 0F SPACE AND MONEY as ir is. 1 arn sure we will hear more on this topic. - With Spring seerning to really and truly be here finally - local nurseries are feeling Mother Nature's presence.
