    "People should be encouraged to do the second meaning of Reduce by crushing their containers thus reducing the space required in garbage containers."

    Crushing waste can make collection more efficient, but it doesn’t reduce the tonnes of waste going to landfill or incinerator. Zero waste puts the focus on reducing waste at the source in order to make better use of resources. Also, many containers are recyclable through the blue box or apartment recycling program, or the deposit-refund system for beverage containers. http://vancouver.ca/engsvcs/solidwaste/recycling/index.htm http://www.encorp.ca/cfm/index.cfm?It=902&Id=1&Lo=300,17&Se=38&St=Vancouver&Sv=depot
