High winds make another cart for homes pointless

There is so little point in adding another garbage (composting this time) container to our homes. 

 This morning, Thursday, we have a wind gusting at 70 km/h. Although my recycling bin was fairly full I did not dare put it out on the street. Those who did ended up chasing them down the street. Those who had already left for work will be playing hunt the recycling bin in the dark. 

I don’t know what it is about Thursdays but very often they are windy and the folks in Sunridge have to deal with it. I much preferred going out to the recycling centres the City has and taking my recycling directly to the big bins.

But I’m paying for this service. The City of Lethbridge really needs to come up with a solution. Face the facts, we are a windy city. Deal with it because the residents are tired of losing their bins.
