This claim has not been checked. It is waiting on the question below, which is what a brief, a body of evidence and a panel run are spent on.
Its questionGoing ahead
Edmonton's waste composition audits measure how much of what goes in the black cart could have been recycled or composted, which tests the advice that sorting makes one cart enough; the claim that 95 percent of purchases are recyclable has no record at that level and will be dropped.

I have no issues with the one bin every two weeks. I did up until I started recycling and composting properly.

from the birthday party all the boxes and most wrapping paper get flattened and go in the blue bag. Leftover food in compost. The black bin just gets popped balloons, streamers and paper plates.

Even with one collection every two weeks there's often some room in the small black bin we have but then we know how to recycle and minimize the waste
