Article fails notability, that is, how is this different than any other curbside recycling program in the world. Blue Box (container) has been similarly tagged. Dondegroovily (talk) 04:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• keep, perhaps merging Blue Box (container) into the principal article on the program. It is different from many other programs precisely because of its notability, that is, being the subject of considerable public discussions, academic studies etc. like [1]. It is also notable for being adopted (under the same Blue Box title) outside of Canada [2] - that is, rather than being "any other" it is a mother of "those others".

• Keep, for now there seems to be a lot of coverage for it under this name. I wouldn't be opposed to an upmerge to a more general topic such as Curbside collection in the future though, as neither article is large at this point. Gigs (talk) 14:05, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - not sure either exactly what to do. I do believe there is some sort of notability, but the various recycling articles need to be reorganized. Is there a Wiki recycling/waste management project?--137.122.49.102 (talk) 16:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Notable and lot of coverage for it under this name. - Ret.Prof (talk) 02:02, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: If "keep" wins (sounds like it will), I'll do the merge with Blue Box (container) Dondegroovily (talk) 20:48, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
