The Calgary council has just proposed using wheelies for re-cycling and
charging us about £10 per month. What a fuss that's causing!
We have separate recycling bins in every burb for newspapers, cardboard
etc,
milk bottles (plastic) etc, and these are very popular. We pay a deposit
on
booze and pop bottles so there is a very high rate of recycling for
those -
the boy scouts come round after xmas to collect them to raise money, for
example.

I can remember getting tuppence back on every pop bottle.

There are different rates for pop cans, beer cans, beer bottles (domestic
and imported) and wine bottles etc. Homeless people collect them from
rubbish bins to get some beer money.
