Here's a email response I got from Dave Jones at DVBIA about the laneway dumpster issue:

The DVBIA and other BIA's were not able to move past a lengthy set of obstacles from the private sector. However, as often happens several businesses got together and have a trial program going in their lane where they share a tote service provided by one hauler who appears to be willing to step out of the dumpster mode and try new things. They have managed to reduce waste, cost and keep dumsters out of lanes. We are hoping to see more nearby businesses build on this success during this year. The social enterprise issue was not an impediment, nor was it the reason this did not move forward as quickly as the BIAs would have liked.
