Garbage cans reinstalled along Montreal’s Lachine Canal [Video]

Those strolling along the Lachine Canal in Montreal looking for a place to toss an empty chip bag will again be able to count on a classic trash can.

Parks Canada said on Thursday that it was ending its pilot project and reinstalling waste cans along the Lachine Canal Historic Site.

The federal agency said the four-week period of no trash cans “taught it a lot.”

“The situation on site was monitored daily by employees, who collected waste from the entire site and compared the situation between different sectors,” Parks Canada said in a news release. “Although the cleanliness of the canal was deemed satisfactory and similar to other areas in the first few weeks following the implementation of the pilot project, Parks Canada has taken note of the comments received and will proceed with the reinstallation of the waste garbage cans.”
