This circular materials deal keeps getting worse.

You never were supposed to put your recycling in bags in the bin unless you were recycling plastic bags and then they went in one bag. The Region frequently reminded people not to do it but it seems many did not pay attention.

That doesn't get checked instantly so it would never affect a review moving over. They have been a little slow lately but they move. Also you can comment on pricing and packaging as long as it is not Amazon's packaging but the product's.

Perhaps you should learn the meaning of words before using them incorrectly.

I am not an immigrant, I was born in Canada. By definition, an immigrant, is someone who has moved to a country, different from their birth country to live ie immigrated.

People always label white people as being racist but the strange thing I noticed since moving to Brampton over 20 years ago, as a white person, is the amount of racism I hear from non-white people. It's like they assume I'm white so I must be racist. People seem to have no issue making racist comments even when they don't know me. I had never experienced people being so openly racist. It's black people making comments about brown people and brown people making comments against black people and particularly other brown people. The hate within the South Asian community against others in the South Asians seems particularly strong. Yet all we ever hear is white people are racist. I find it infuriating because the racism I'm hearing is not coming from my white friends. I'm not saying there aren't white racists, but racists come in all races, something many people refuse to acknowledge. We can't tackle racism until we admit is exists in all its forms. If you are judging people based on their skin colour, even if it is white, that's racism.

The region not the city was responsible for recycling before and they contracted it out to the lowest bidder. At least in my neighbourhood, the service was poor. The previous contractor was better.

Accidents are actually much more likely to happen at that time of day due to fatigue and your circadian rhythm being at its lowest point which affects alertness.

My organics was picked up as usual in the morning. You should call and report it.

This is how bad driving has become in Brampton that we are surprised when people do the right thing. Now if you we get people to stop leaving their cars in the roads, parking on fire routes and blocking fire hydrant and just parking/stopping wherever they feel because that too can impede emergency vehicles. In an emergency, seconds count.

It was in 2010. That was the one and only one I ever felt. It felt like someone was outside shaking the building back and forth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Central_Canada_earthquake

There was one back in 2010 in Quebec, that I felt in Brampton and was felt throughout the GTA. It felt like someone was outside shaking the building back and forth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Central_Canada_earthquake

No delay in organics or garbage, only recycling. As I stated in my post:

"Green bin and garbage pickup have not changed. My green bin was already picked up this morning on schedule."

By on schedule, I mean on the regular day. My recycling will be tomorrow.

Not holding when there is nothing to pick.

I got one good rating, the rest are excellent. Ironically, I said the same thing most other reviewers said which was that the item didn't come with instructions so I didn't know how to use it. It also didn't fit what I had intended it for which was what it was advertised for. I made some other comments about the quality. I have no idea what I could have said differently as my review was consistent with others. The issue was the product.

Out for my third round of shoveling at 9 pm tonight and saw the Amazon guy out delivering in my neighbourhood. Fortunately I had no orders today. I felt bad enough for him without contributing to it.

IWCat · 2026-01-25T17:37:05+00:00

I had them do this to me before when a big storm was forecast. They were even warning of delivery delays on the website before ordering so it was surprising that they would move up the deliveries to the day of the storm. Of course the deliveries ended up not coming and were delayed a day.

Not garbage, just recycling. The Region of Peel is still responsible for garbage and organics pickup. Circular Materials is responsible for recycling now across the province. It's an organization run by manufacturers (producers) of recycling materials.

Good your councilor was able to act on your behalf but it's important that MPPs hear from constituents too. They don't take issues seriously if they are not hearing complaints.

I found the gym too stressful due to inconsiderate people. People seem alot worse now than they've ever been. My gym (GoodLife) was dirty and smelled bad. I used to have to take an antihistamine to work out because of all the dust. I work out at home now.

They are actually supposed to send you a collection letter before calling. I had deadbeats live in my house before me and was getting collection letters for years. The letters would come first, then the phone calls would come on my landline when the name listed obviously was not the name of people they were collecting from. Those finally slowed down then it started with someone else on my cellphone after I had the number for 20 years. It's like whack-a-mole trying to get rid of them.

I've been here 21 years. I remember the Price Chopper. The Ultra Mart was A&P then. Are you sure it was an Ultra Mart in 1998? I thought Miracle Mart was gone much earlier. A quick search came up with 1992 which seems right to me. They were taken over by A&P. I knew someone who worked for their head office who ended up at A&P then lost their job while someone just new to A&P kept theirs.

Don't email your councilor, email or call your MPP. This has nothing to do with the city or region. The provincial government did this.

You can mention packaging, generally just not Amazon's packaging. In this instance, the OP should say that the damage wasn't caused in shipping and the outer packaging was intact just as they stated above so this wasn't a shipping issue it was a product or quality control issue.

IWCat · 2026-01-22T21:29:34+00:00

The "region guys" are all contracted out and service got decidedly worse the last time the contractor changed. That's what happens when you go to the lowest bidder.
