Week 5 of the Trash 2 Cash challenge has completed, and we are so amazed by the commitment people showed to the challenge! Many, many residents exceeded the goal of 3 garbage-free weeks, with several going the full 5 weeks without putting out any 'regular' garbage at all.
Councillor Hume is very impressed, and proud of the residents for their adventurous spirit. Of course, the shining gem in this entire project is the fabulous photos. We have one last round to show you, but first, a reminder of your invitation:

Thank you all so very much for participating in this experiment. It was great to get all your feedback, and of course, your lovely photos. We hope to be revisiting these challengers again in the fall, to chat about their experience with trying out bi-weekly garbage pick-up.
We hope to see you all (and you readers, too, Alta Vista) out at the Grand Finale event on Sunday!
