Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Bon Accord residents have been very enthusiastic about recycling since the commencement of the Blue Bag recycling program on November 15th, 2007.  In 2006 the Town of Bon Accord disposed of 814.665 tonnes of garbage at Roseridge.  In 2007, this amount was reduced to 792.67 tonnes, and then further reduced in 2008 to 663.28 tonnes.

Alberta Environment has a strategy for waste reduction in Alberta.  The current target is to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills to 500 kg per person by the year 2010.  Way to go Bon Accord residents, we have met the provincial target; our disposal rate is 432.38 kg per person!  Keep up the good work!
