Atleast Half of Council has Recycling Figured Out
It was close… but the majority of Alderman decided to bring the City of Calgary into modern times.
Barely.
Alderman have voted 8-to-7 to NOT change how Calgary’s curbside recycling program will be run.
If that 8th vote had gone the other way… we wouldn’t have a blue-box program next year. We would have had to wait until atleast 2011.
It amazes me… that we as a society stress the importance of teaching kids in school the need to recycle YET Calgary is the only city of our size in Canada without a curbside pick-up program.
