        I’m rooting for the raccoons. Better the waste be consumed than dumped into a pit or an incinerator.

        The bins that they are getting into are the food recycling bin for composting. I figure nature always finds a way

        OMG I love these raccoons!! 💜💜💜 Toronto residents who don’t appreciate their inventiveness and clear camera charisma might be better off to invest in a dog. 🐶😉

        “She had been measuring and weighing dead raccoons since about a year before the green bin rollout started to see whether their body mass index changed.” — Someone get her some career counseling.

        We have trash pandas come over almost every night. Don't mess anything up, just dirty up our dogs water. They don't seem to be to afraid of us. I think they are cute.
