Mark MacLeod of the Fundy Regional Solid Waste Commission tells CHSJ News it's clear bans and bag limits work when it comes to encouraging people to recycle.
Under the new restriction, leaf and yard waste must be set out with compost and will not be picked up if it is with garbage. The amount of compost versus garbage set out at the curb in Saint John went up by 2% last year--which MacLeod calls a pretty significant difference.
