That's a tough slog for the downtown homeless, better tune up the shopping cart before they head out.
I believe that the Glanford Avenue Bottle Depot is replacing the one on Burnside/Jutland, and not the one on View/Vancouver, so I'm not sure the downtown homeless have anything to worry about quite yet.
That being said, any word on when/whether the city renewed the View/Vancouver Bottle Depot business license?

I'm being a bit sarcastic, but I do note that the owner of this new one IS the owner of the downtown one, and he indicates he HAS BOUGHT the premises.

Meanwhile the building on Burnside is being completely rebuild. 23 low income housing units on top of street front retail.

That is what I meant^ It in no way will have street front retail. It will have parking front retail.

It would be better for people to simply put their bottles out by the curb for collection along with their other recyclables.

I do not like this development because it further entrenches the bottle deposit system.

I agree. We should have moved on by now to the point where we do not need the monetary incentive to recycle.

It would certainly curb scavanging (or binning, which I believe is the PC term for it, now) in CRD Blue Boxes. One could make the assumption that anyone binning at that point is interested only in ID theft.

I guess I can look forward to no more calls from the Depot owner accusing me of conspiring to defame him.

By Bill Cleverley, Times Colonist
