April 2018, Calgary: The distribution of green and blue bins by Calgary Urban Recycling has enabled its clients to sort their junk and maximize the possibilities of recycling. The green bins help in collecting organic waste to generate compost. The deposits in green bins too are taken by the waste management company. However, with some extra efforts households and commercial organizations can make manure for yards surrounding their premises.

In Calgary, dump removal as an issue was earlier handled only by professional junk management companies. Classifying the materials for landfills and recycling was a complicated task then. The use of color coded bins by more people has eased the process significantly. Items made of plastic, glass, metal, cardboard and paper can be discarded into the blue bins for recycling.
The company also advises the clients on what not to put in the containers. As an example greased parts of pizza boxes should not be discarded into the blue bins as the grease renders them unfit for recycling. Similarly medical waste and needles or syringes should not be thrown into these bins.
Thanks to the combined efforts of professional waste managers and their clients the amount of rubbish going into landfills has been decreasing. School children also participate in these recycling programs by collecting old newspapers from their neighborhoods and sending the bundles to Calgary Urban Recycling.

With spring about to arrive in the city the manure preparation too is generating interest. Many families in Calgary have already made few pounds of compost to keep their plants throughout the flowering season.

Clients are also appreciating the work of their waste management company in this field. To quote Nelson Fredrick, “I have taken blue and green bins from Calgary Urban Recycling and every week they come to collect the junk. With proper segregation of waste by all families in this community it becomes easier to take the contents of bins for recycling. And we also make a great lot of manure for our plants in the green bins. I feel good to participate in this process.”
