Lots of furniture at the curb last night on College west of Spadina. Not sure what the deal is with that.
I've noticed lots of furniture at the curb throughout the city. While I can somewhat understand someone running out of room to store actual trash, and getting desperate to get rid of it, I really can't understand why so many people decide that the best time to get rid of their old mattress, ruined love seat, or antique television is during a garbage strike.
I've been wondering that, too, based on the pictures I've seen, but one possibility does make sense: it's the beginning of the month, and people are moving.
Someone set fire to the silver bin at Howland and Bloor earlier tonight.
