green bin
So, the city just announced 19 temporary dumping sites across the city. I’m pleased to note one will be located in my neighbourhood, right in the middle of Sunnyside Park.
After at least seven minutes of feverish brainstorming, I have come up wit the perfect name for what I can only assume will be a majestic pile of garbage:
MOUNT ST. SMELLINS
I think the comparison between a festering pile of trash and a smouldering volcano is entirely appropriate. Plus, the catastrophic 1980 eruption of MSH is nice little metaphor for the state of labour relations in Toronto.
If you think you’ve got a more clever name than mine, leave it in the comments. And we’ll get people to vote on the best one, because Web 2.0 rules! Spread the word!

How about “the Mayor-ana Stench”?
Favorite quote from the article you linked: “I understand there’s a lot of difficult choices, but that’s the dumbest choice.”
(ReCaptcha is prophetic here: “the harvests”.)
The Hills
Mount Miller.
(aside: my captcha was “S Hussein”)
