No, but maybe Tim Horton's should pay for the clean-up of garbage created by their customers. The brass at Timmie's know the deal because a few months ago they were running radio ads about putting cups in the garbage. A pre-emptive move to the problem? Perhaps........

Another option is that each cup has a $0.10 cent deposit which is refundable when you bring back the cup in any form factor.

Put bins on the street, make them prominent, but that might not work because some people just don't care unless there's a financial impact to them, hence the deposit solution. And some won't even care then, but at least then they are paying for their non-caring attitude............
