A 2 parent, 3 child @cityofkingston family that generates just 1 Cart/22 pounds of garbage every year. Weekly tracking and other details: @ygk1CartOrLess

[ygk1CartOrLess @ygk1CartOrLess]

We’re not sure when @cityofkingston traded a 65% waste diversion goal for citizen convenience and satisfaction at any expense? “Strongly agree?”

We’ll be satisfied when we get back on track and hit (at least) 65%!

Smaller carts, less pickups, full user pay model. #wastenotygk

@YGKRogue Warm, eh?

[ygk1CartOrLess @ygk1CartOrLess]

Awesome: No need for garbage bags!

Less awesome: Everything else!

@rockinreid @cityofkingston It’s a subtle hint that they want you to stop drinking, Reid. 🤣

Either that or they think you should return them to @TheBeerStoreON and get the refund you deserve! 💰

Happy New Year! All the best in 2026!

The new list of items that can be recycled in Ontario on Jan 1, 2026 is impressive!: https://t.co/epVJaM92cX

For us toothpaste, deodorant, and cereal/cracker liners were the final frontier.

It’s time for @cityofkingston to revisit weekly garage cart schedules and bag limits!

Return To Normal

Hank thinks of a simple solution to the Province's recycling woes.

Audrey and Boyd play Devil's Advocate and argue that consumers will buy products with excess packaging to take home but it would be too inconvenient to take it back to where they got it...

This story does not paint a clear picture of what has changed with our waste collection systems.

Several corrections are needed.

The photo also doesn’t align to the main content of the article.

Read with an abundance of caution.

We’ve rebranded!

We’re now @ygk1CartOrLess ! Same family, but now in cart form.

Our neighbourhood isn’t in the first phase for a cart, but we’re working on securing one for demonstration purposes.

Stay tuned for more!
