Original Toronto Star caption: Garbage collectors in the Beaches area pick up bundles of newspapers for recycling. The Toronto-wide paper pick-ups started yesterday; with special trucks following garbage vehicles on their rounds. The project got off to a shaky start; with some bundles throuwn into the wrong trucks and others not collected.
