In Canada most major cities and small rural towns have some sort of door to door recycling program in place, and now Calgary is included among them.

Blue Boxes The city has finally introduced their “Blue Cart Recycling” program. After what has seemed like years of planning, April 2009 saw the launch of the new recycling program. More than 300,000 Calgarian homes have benefit from the program, which will be in full swing by July 09.

At a cost of $8 per month, added to your Enmax bill, the city hopes to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills by 50%.

For all the details about the program visit the City of Calgary Blue Cart Recycling website.
