Garbage
Dufferin Grove Rinkhouse
Sunday afternoon, March 28, 2004
There's so much garbage because there's so much going on at the park. The trash you see is from the fixing of the compressors (Wednesday, Thursday, maybe Friday), the farmers' market (Thursday), Councillor Giambrone's Friday night supper with the Botswana delegation (Friday), and the OCAP lunch prior to their demonstration at the immigration jail (Saturday) and our efforts to pick up trash around the bake oven and in the native-species gardens (three big bags, Saturday). The seventh annual matzo bake for Passover was on Sunday but that garbage is still in the trash bins near the bake oven. Altogether there may have been about 800 people at these events (all of them were very well attended). Already by Friday evening the Botswanan delegation found this trash collection impressive.
Two choices:
- reduce the amount of activities going on at the park or
- increase the amount of trash pickup in response to the traffic.
We're hoping for the second option.

April 5: The week after this was sent, the trash was picked up more often, and the pile didn't grow that big.
