Ottawa residents have four months to adjust their garbage disposal habits before a new three-garbage item limit is imposed on curbside waste this fall.

The City of Ottawa will implement the new three-item limit on Sept. 30, as part of a plan to reduce the amount of waste heading to the landfill and extend the life of the Trail Road Landfill.

"If changes aren’t made to waste disposal habits, the Trail Waste Facility Landfill could reach capacity between 2034 and 2035," staff say, noting a new landfill or waste-to-energy facility could cost between $350 and $500 million.

The city says a garbage item could be a garbage bag, a 140-litre container or a bulky item.

I can’t remember the last time I found these on sale, so I wanted to share in case anyone else was waiting on a discount.

The convoy will pass through Mattawa, Ont., and other communities along the way. It will make both short stops and longer halts for rest, fuel, maintenance and training.

Members of the public are asked to take extra caution when approaching military vehicles.

Under the Medical Priority Dispatch System, or MPDS, ambulances will be dispatched based on answers to detailed questions, and according to five colour-based levels based on the “acuity” of the situation.

Top-priority calls are now marked as “purple,” which indicates there are immediate life-threatening conditions, where time is critical. This accounts for about two per cent of calls.

Next on the priority list is “red,” which means emergent and potentially life-threatening, representing about 38 per cent of calls. Time is sensitive in these cases.

“Orange” is urgent and potentially life-threatening. Time may be a factor. This accounts for 17 per cent of calls.

“Yellow” is non-urgent, but potentially serious. Time is sensitive. It’s about 19 per cent of calls.

“Green” is non-urgent and not serious, with no immediate threat to life, and it may be deferred without detriment to the patient’s outcome. This is about 24 per cent of calls.

Friendly reminder never to stare at the sun during the eclipse or ever in general.

That’s the post. Happy viewing!
