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.

It was 10p when I worked in Glasgow (some 20 years after decimalisation)
