		<description><![CDATA[Here is some good news to tide us over until the &#8220;Save the Revue&#8221; battle is won. It is also evidence that community action can influence the shape of our neighbourhoods. According to the Toronto Public Space Committee (TPSC) June 2006 newsletter, Toronto City Works has recommended that the City Council reject the Eucan MegaBin [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had mentioned, a couple of posts back, that the City of Toronto report on the MegaBin/Eucan trial engaged in some interesting number juggling and justification concerning the community’s response to the trial. Most interestingly, the authors of the report had concluded that the 2,387 on-line surveys, of which 85% were negative, could be marginalized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was pleased to see The Roncesvalles Village Business Improvement Area (RVBIA) speak out against the MegaBin trial in their Spring 2006 Business Bulletin. This supports the findings of the City&#8217;s report which states that while 4 BIAs supported the trial, 8 disapproved and 5 of those who did, including our RVBIA, officially rejected the [...]]]></description>

The article, by Anthony Reinhart, focuses on the total marketing strategy that has overwhelmed the TTC Subway stations. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This last item will be interesting. We have to make sure we ask whether the second stage of the Eucan trial, with its removal of a number of the OMG Silverboxes in favour of the EcoBin (see below), makes it more difficult for the City to pull out of the Eucan deal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The EcoBin joins the MegaBox on (and in the middle of) the sidewalks of Toronto.
The city’s strategy to implement the Eucan contract is less a trial than a gradual introduction of that company’s recycling billboards behind a facade of public consultation. This has become clear with the installation of the EcoBins in the place of the old OMG Silverboxes. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eucan has renamed their monstrous trash bin/billboards. They will no longer be called the somewhat cute “EcoMupi”. Instead they have been christened <a href="http://www.megabin.ca/index.htm">“MegaBins”</a>. Uh-huh. Do they actually think the name “MegaBin” will be more endearing to the Toronto public? This is seriously funny. I think it may also be a sign that the trial is not going as smoothly as Eucan, or the City, had hoped. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have just read the first mainstream press comments on the EcoMupi trial. Lisa Rainford of insideToronto.com and the <em>Bloor West Villager</em> writes, <a href="http://www.insidetoronto.ca/to/bloorw/story/2912935p-3374697c.html">“Residents trash large sidewalk garbage bins.”</a> The reporter interviews citizens from the area who pan the EcoMupi’s because of their ungainly size and the fact that the placement and design emphasize the advertising over the recycling.]]></description>
