Who pays for the pest control after an extended garbage strike ? Toronto is using parks as temp. garbage sites?

and the media has recorded rat activity at these sites.Children's playgrounds abutt the garbage piles and anything that is leaking from this "ripe" garbage will be leaking into the soil. There are homes surrounding these parks and just a short distance for the rats to cross over for new food sources.So back to my question, who pays for the clean up and resulting pest control not only for the parks but for affected homeowners in the area.I can't imagine wanting my grandkids to play in these parks after the strike for fear of rats, chemicals sprayed onto the garbage and odors. Will these parks be safe ? All answers appreciated.|||the tax payer|||no one win in a strike

|||Just last year Naples had the same problem and about 30 years ago in Liverpool. uk had a garbage strike.





In both cases the clean-up was rapid and there were no long term problems reported.





Read this for a one-sided (socialist) view of the Liverpool strike.

Keep your recyclables in large trash bags until the strike is over. Wash out the glass and tin cans before putting them in the bags.|||That's a great question. I'd say the city. . .although I don't know how that would work. But someones is gonna have to give this city a real goooood scrubbing.





In all honestly, just hire new people! I lost me job a few months back. I could use the money.





Take care.|||once the trash is removed the rats will disperse. Can`t imagine starving rats attacking passing strollers in the park.|||Humans are so good at life
