Food for thought regarding our new recycling program

Think back to BEFORE Chestermere started the recycling program…..
Chestermere has well over 5000 homes whose occupants put out at least one bag of garbage per week , multiply that quantity times 52 weeks in a year.

Think of that quantity. Where is it going ?
Are we willing to give up some green space to bury our garbage ?
How big would the city dumps be allowed to grow?
68th Street dump isn’t too far away !
How soon till we, our children, or nephews and nieces are living next to an expanded dump site ?
