The change I'd like to see is some kind of sharing of a dumpster-sized bin by apartment and townhouse dwellers on the same high-density block. The size of the mixed paper bin now provided to apartment buildings in Vancouver discourages recycling of paper boxes. Many are so big, they would take up an entire bin even if cut and folded.
