Ugh it's disgusting. Have they no shame? I live by UofT, so there are a lot of Asians here, but I have witnessed this in other areas of Toronto as well. WHY??????

sounds like you have a bad case of the mainlanders..

what they're doing is against the law, and you should actually contact the police if you see it happening.

City To Crack Down On Blue Box Scavengers Thursday August 7, 2008 CityNews.ca Staff One person's trash is another person's treasure. The old axiom proves true not only for scavengers looking to make a few extra bucks, but for the city as well. Items put out to the curb in blue boxes often attract late night foragers who collect the aluminum cans and beer bottles you discard and turn them in for cash, but city officials reportedly plan to crack down on the practice this fall. So why are local officials so concerned over people rifling through blue boxes for cans? The city claims these scavengers cost it cash, taking items it would sell to recycling firms for more than $2,000 per tonne, according to a published report. The head of the city's solid waste department, Geoff Rathbone, claims homeless people aren't the only ones picking up your cans to earn some cash. He says since the price of scrap metal has skyrocketed, several people have realized there's significant money to be made from collecting refuse. "That material that you as a resident have put out in your Blue Box, we get a lot of complaints about people scavenging in the night," added Robert Orpin, also with Toronto Solid Waste. "There's the noise, there's the mess factor ... we don't have an exact figure on loss of revenue but it's substantial." The LCBO's deposit-return program has also caused a surge in scavenging, the city says. Under the program customers pay a deposit when they buy wine or spirits, which they get back if they return the containers to The Beer Store. The city collects thousands of liquor and beer bottles through blue boxes every year. Measures to stop can collection will reportedly be introduced in November when the city rolls out its new recycling bins. Any items you put out for collection are considered city property once they reach the curb, according to Rathbone. This is bad news to people like Horace Tennt, who makes his living picking metal from the curb. "I think they (the city) need to find other ways to pump people for money," he charged. "Or provide other means for people to make money." But city officials argue the small-time scavengers aren't its chief concern. "We're not going after the single person going down the street going through the Blue Box," Orpin insists. "We're going after the professional recyclers, the guy who is running a truck or multiple trucks." Still, there are already measures in place to stop the scavenging. Authorities currently have the right to issue a $360 ticket to anyone caught taking garbage or recyclables left at the curb, and that figure would likely rise when the crackdown begins in November. How To Stop Recycling Thieves Do It Later Put out your box first thing in the morning before 6am to ensure no one can get at it during the night. Watch For Thieves If you see anyone going through your stuff or a neighbour's, report it to the city or even police. Use Less Cans are problematic, but water bottles can be reused or you can decide to reduce your so-called carbon footprint - thus reducing what goes into your blue box.

I wonder how much this recycling racket earns them, mainly cause I want to know how much their dignity costs.

Those Asians don't look like bums either. I still can't believe they'd do that instead of working in one of those Asian shops on Spadina.

always the random bad apples that give the rest of us a bad name!

Asian girls are h0t! Don't mess with 'em

One American dead; assailant commits suicide Olympic stain: Beijing stabbing victims related to former BYU volleyball coach By Michael C. Lewis The Salt Lake Tribune Article Last Updated: 08/09/2008 12:40:37 PM MDT Related oly slaying Aug 9: Kragthorpe: Act of violence mars China's Olympic image, brings tears in ProvoU.S. women in hard-fought volleyball win over JapanUpdated: 9:09 AM- BEIJING - The father-in-law of former Brigham Young men's volleyball player and coach Hugh McCutcheon was stabbed to death Saturday in a shocking attack at an ancient tower near downtown, officials said, casting a sudden pall over the Beijing Olympics only a day after they began. The attack on Todd Bachman and his wife Barbara -- the parents of McCutcheon's wife, 2004 Olympian Elisabeth Bachman-McCutcheon, who was with them at the time -- occurred just as Hugh McCutcheon was preparing to lead the U.S. men's team, featuring former Cougars Ryan Millar of Highland and Rich Lambourne, into its first match of the Olympics against Venezuela and current Cougar Joel Silva on Sunday. McCutcheon is the team's head coach. Officials said a lone Chinese attacker wielding a knife attacked the Bachmans and their Chinese tour guide around noon at the Drum Tower in central Beijing, killing Todd Bachman and seriously injuring Barbara Bachman and their guide before jumping from the tower to his own death. The U.S. Olympic Committee said Barbara Bachman is being treated for life-threatening injuries at a local hospital, but that Elisabeth Bachman-McCutcheon was not injured. The official state news agency Xinhua identified the attacker at 47-year-old Tang Yongming, from the city of Hangzhou in southeastern China. The motive of the -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advertisement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- attack remains a mystery. "It is impossible to describe the depth of our sadness and shock in this tragic hour," U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Peter Ueberroth said. "Our delegation comes to the Games as a family, and when one member of our family suffers a loss, we all grieve with them. Our thoughts, prayers and deepest condolences are with the Bachman and McCutcheon families." USOC spokesman Darryl Seibel said he did not know whether McCutcheon will continue to coach the team, or if there has been any consideration given to postponing or cancelling the match against Venezuela. Seibel said the team was informed of the incident Saturday night, and its response was "as you would expect." "It's an awful thing," Seibel said. "A terrible tragedy." The 38-year-old McCutcheon played for the Cougars from 1991-93, and later returned as an assistant coach and top recruiter for head coach Carl McGown, who led the Cougars to national championships in 1999 and 2001. He has been the head coach of the national team since 2005, and McGown is now a team scout who's with the team in Beijing. Word spread quickly after the attack, surprising many who have observed the massive security build-up for the Olympics. Organizers and government officials here have sought to portray China as a safe nation welcoming of foreign visitors, and the country is known as typically free from attacks on tourists. "To tell you the truth, this is really a shock because there's so much security here," Annette Busateri, a 31-year-old communications manager from Salt Lake City told The New York Times. "We were told that even at the public markets, there was a lot of security in plainclothes. There are guards everywhere and cameras. So I'm not sure how something like this could happen."

Blue bin gnomes!!! They do your recycling for you and collect the profits


When I lived off of Spadina we had this teeny, little, old asian lady who always came around and looked for bottles and cans. Best thing was when a cop I was chatting with referred to her as "straight out of middle earth" when she walked by.
