May 19th, 2007 posted by WeekendWarriorIf the site of piled high garbage on trash day has your ire, then the city’s direction for trash reduction may be up your alley. Come 2009, Calgary residents are going to have to think twice about their garbage. The city is discussing the idea of limiting the amount of trash and charging residents for their refuse.
“It will enable people who are good recyclers to get a reduction off the amount they pay for garbage,” said Ald. Madeleine King.
She’s in favor of placing a limit on the amount of trash.
Ald. Druh Farrell concurred with the idea of making it “more difficult to discard copious amounts of waste.”
