Because it never snows in Calgary....

Last week's 'freak snow storm' caused hundreds of Calgary residents to get missed by recycling pick-up. They were missed because of icy roads. The City officially responded by saying "Sorry, you'll have to wait until next week. If you have a lot of recycling and can't wait, just go to your nearest depot.

No word on any refund of the $8 per month these residents pay for recycling removal. Nor if the City will get a refund for the crappy snow tires they bought for their trucks.

Now, if they'd only do this every other week, think of the savings! Who in their right mind fills up that giant bin every week??? I make sure to keep mine in until it is full just to save the truck from having to make that extra stop.

I do the same thing. But sometimes I do fill it in a week. But that's mostly just cardboard we're slowly getting rid of.
