Dear Editor:
It is with some amusement that I looked closely at the picture accompanying the cnv.org/CityCollect garbage collection app advertisement (page 21 of the Wednesday, Dec. 30 edition). The green can in the picture is one of the plastic cans with a single top handle on the lid.
In my area of Lynn Valley these are the favourite breakfast venue for the ravens. In a manner of moments they perch on the handle and after a couple of up/down thrusts, the lids pop off and the meal commences. Of course, once the ravens are done the crows move in to complete the mess. I would think that we need to reconsider the use of tie-downs. While paving stones work, I am not sure that the sanitation workers appreciate that solution.
