Our most popular news article focused on the new Recycle Better flyer, which provides clear, updated guidelines on what should and should not go in your curbside recycling bin.

Housing was the most popular topic, with several housing analysis stories appearing in the top ten. The most popular housing story explores the impact of five firms that own nearly 8,000 single-family homes in the region. 

Other housing stories focused on housing production and the widening affordable housing gap were also popular.
