Calgary recently became the largest city in Canada to begin offering a recycling program in program. residents used to have to deliver recyclable materials lush green containers are placed every few blocks and often overflowed, or were forced to pay $ 10 per month for collection at the sidewalk.
The city recently approved a $ 50 million plan, which also includes another $ 50 million in tax homeowners. The blue box program Recycling is part of the city's plan to divert over 80% of their waste in landfills by 2020. Even before the program began, Calgary was diverting about 20% of its trash from landfills through private organizations. It will involve the citizens of Calgary are looking forward to helping the planet conveniently recycled materials at home.
Unfortunately, the glass collected by the program so far is settling in the city dump because of the lack of a buyer. The cost is so cheap glass that not only is economical to recycle it. The process is energy intensive, so do not make sense at this time.
Taking into account the recycling of certain products if it is worth the cost of recycling is a struggle of many large cities face today  The problem moment. is that most cities simply want to turn a profit instead of actually helping the environment. Some say that if the product is worth much less is recycled after the process is not worth the cost, but seem to forget that the point of recycling to reduce waste on earth was with. agreement is cost, the price for keep the planet Clean.
