Talkin’ Trash with Will Nash Episode Twelve
Waste management professional John Watson joins Will Nash for a conversation unpacking the latest changes to Ontario’s Blue Box system – and why even industry experts are having a bit of an identity crisis.
With nearly 20 years of experience working with municipalities, John breaks down what’s actually changed, why materials like snack wrappers are suddenly acceptable, and why these new rules feel so backwards to people who’ve been doing recycling “right” for years.
From flexible plastics to fiber stream confusion, this episode tackles what residents are overthinking, what they’re still getting wrong, and what you can finally stop stressing about. Because if the rules have changed, it’s time to rethink what we thought we knew – and maybe give ourselves a break in the process.
