Good news everyone! The mayor's office answered me, you gotta read that:
Dear Guillaume
Coziol-Lesperance,
Thank you for your recent e-mail to Mayor
Bronconnier. Mayor Bronconnier has had the opportunity to review your e-mail and
has asked me to respond on his behalf.
You may be pleased to know that the
Council-approved residential curbside recycling program will begin in 2009 to
provide weekly, door-to-door collection for 300,000 single family homes. The
program will collect and recycle newspapers, magazines, mixed paper, cardboard,
food cans, glass, milk cartons, milk jugs and - for the first time - plastic
containers (numbers 1 through 7). And,
it will be even easier for Calgarians to participate as there will be no need to
sort recyclable materials. The program fee will be $8/month/household and
participating homes will also receive a recycling cart. This program will
reduce the amount of recyclable material ending up in our landfill and is an
important step to achieving 80 per cent diversion of materials from landfills by
2020. For more information on this program, please see
www.calgary.ca/recycling
Today, you
can recycle plastic bags, milk jugs and cartons at The City's neighbourhood depots. Many other
containers like plastic cups and bottles are returned to local bottle depots.
For a list of locations call 1-800-463-6326, check the Yellow Pages under Bottle
Depots, or visit the
Beverage Container Management Board at

We look forward to your continued participation in The City's recycling
program. Thanks for taking the time to share your comments with Mayor
Bronconnier.
Best regards,
Leah Zilnik
