This seems to be the new thing, I see it all over now more and more, but how the hell do you empty that? Seems like a lot of waste to me. It’s funny when I was in Bowmanville they had jugs everywhere (beckers was a thing) but came back out here and it’s been bags ever since. Guess it depends on the locale

when I grew up here in BC as a kid mom bought milk in the bags. Exactly like in the pic above with the custom cut spout (
) . Probably had milk like that until my late teens or early 20’s so late 80’s early 90’s. Just haven’t seen it here in a long long time.
We don’t pay a deposit on the jugs as far as I know and they don’t give us money for those at the recycling depot either. Not having haousehold garbage truck service here we have to take out garbage to the landfill site. At our landfill the garbage goes into big bins and there are bins for all the other materials. One of them is for plastic milk and cooking oil jugs… so I’m sure that landfil business gets some $$ for them but we don’t.
I use the yougurt tubs for my veg room snipping 4 holes in the bottoms for drainage and I use the one gallon milk jugs for feeding my plants. I usually keep 10 or 12 for the greenhouse so I can be precise watering. They get marked into 4 liter increments… #5T pot gets 1/2 gallon , #7 pot gets 3/4 gallon… you can see one of the marked jugs in this pic here
never let a good container go to waste

I was recently forced to buy milk from Beckers and they only do jugs and I had to pay a deposit and I was so disgusted that when I was done I threw it in the garbage not the recycling. 25 cents well spent.

Beckers is still a thing huh 
I thought maybe they dissapeared. Appears they have a milk monopoly in some places

I got a lil carried away with this as when I moved I had an entire 1/6th of my garage filled with old jugs/containers etc. I picked the best and filled like 8 clear bags full for recycling

That’s the only cream I use as it has no sugar in it unlike all the other milk products.

OMG OMG OMG!!!
This makes me SOOOO HAPPY i’m kinda concerned!
Driving 44km round trip THROUGH T.dot for work I’ve punched, spat at, yelled, and almost tossed urine at many of the ass-hats that abuse the licence they hold…
So seeing this has started happening in the core makes me so very pleased as bad actions result in consequences… and too many folk here seem to have been raised under an umbrella of selfish privilege and are only learning this fact in their adulthood!
