Calgary is super gay when it comes to recycling, they have no blue box program. You have to visit one of your local recycling depots (green bins in a parking lot). usually located in the parking lots of grocery stores.

Yeah, the "free" service is the giant greens bins located around the city...

Though there is private pickup recycling..couple people on my street have it weekly!

Just checked out the rates:

$90 includes GST for 6 months (once-weekly pickup), works out to be $3.75/week for 24 weeks.

That's not too bad IMO?

I wish the city would take plastic.

ah... I see..

I thought there was a recycle program because I saw few blue recycle boxes infront of houses in my block.

Oh well.. I guess I have to go to the drop off spot..

Thanks
