Well it's great to be back after some great vacationning (Chanel). Vacationning through B.C. and Alberta really made me grateful for living in this incredible country! We saw some great land, and brought back some great things that our sister provinces are doing!
In Calgary, they have an incredible recycling program that we are soooooo envious of!
Here's the deal: every week, along with their garbage pick-up, another bucket is put next to the garbage bin that includes all recyclable plastics, paper, tin, cans, glass, bottles, or cardboard! Residents can compile allll of these products UNSORTED into this bin and it will be picked up and sorted by an agency (This is included in their taxes). This is perfect for the Calgary culture of busy people... so including it in their taxes has helped improve the recycling power of Calgary!
Added bonus: Garbage bins are smallllller than the recycle bins!!
Here are a few pics of this great initiative:
More to come.... Chanel and Heather
Great idea, so jealous they have it there and we dont. Seems like Saskatoon is always behind in the times!
