Q. Is it true that Rav Shlomo Shlit’a paskened (ruled) that one can dispose of the chometz by just throwing it out on the garbage containers when they will be collected during Pesach? Really!!
A. Indeed on the drasha of Shabbos Hagodol yesterday, (4/2/20), Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a indicated that in Toronto the garbage bins are owned by the city and one pays a yearly fee for their use and disposal. Therefore, when the bins with chometz in them, are placed by the curb outside the homeowners property, before the time when the chometz prohibition begins (this year on Wednesday), even if they are emptied on Thursday (first day of Pesach), it is permitted, since the chometz is off one’s property and not inside one’s utensil.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a
