We have some pretty big news. Starting October 1, you can recycle chip bags in your blue cart. And that’s not all. Foam packaging, tubes and aerosol containers are joining the list too. Learn more about these changes at calgary.ca/recyclemore Same cart. More stuff.

This is cool,however,what are you doing to minimize escaping chip bags and Styrofoam blowing around creating a mess?If we're still putting these items in loose,then they will be another job to clean up.Me and my neighbour already clean the alley after garbage day.Not looking forward to a new mess.

If you regularly notice litter after pickup day, please report to 311 as there may be an equipment issue. 2/2

It's probably a "user" issue as multiple rentals are in this area with poor landlord support. (Ie. Cramming more renters into spaces not meant for that many without bins). Honestly by the time the city gets here it's either a higher mess or too late.I could be reporting on 311 several times a day.

This is an illegal/unregistered "lodging house"with 8 individuals renting single rooms and only 1 bin. The landlord doesn't care for their tenants to have proper garbage options. The city needs to hold landlords accountable, there are at least a dozen like this on my street.
