Strike Watch: Day Twelve
As the city accumulates garbage throughout the ongoing city workers’ strike, we’ll be accumulating photos. Torontoist’s photographers are checking in on garbage and recycling bins around the city throughout the strike, an attempt to follow the tangible effects of the strike and complement our other coverage.

WHERE: Queen Street West and Bathurst Street.
WHEN: 10:38 a.m. today.
FIELD NOTES: Says Miles Storey, “It’s still not bad—there is definitely a skeleton crew going around cleaning out bins, perhaps not everywhere but certainly along here. I saw two men, sans uniform, cleaning out a bin at Richmond and John yesterday at 8 p.m. They were digging out the trash with shovels and putting it into black bags, which they had arranged neatly along the curb, presumably to await pick-up.”
