The City of Calgary's Curbside recycling program will start serving 300,000 households in January 2009. The program will be limited to single family homes, duplexes and four-plexes. Condominiums will not receive curbside service yet but the community recycling depots will remain in place.

Recycling will be picked up on the same day, and from the same location, as regular garbage. According to the city it wont be necessary to sort the difference recyclables - they can all be combined into the blue carts the city will be providing.

The program will cost $8 per month, which will be billed to Calgarians on our City of Calgary / EnMax bills.

Find out more about the program on the city of Calgary website. Recycling in the mean time can be done at any of the 50 depots in the city, a list is available here.
