Alberta makes big changes to bottle recycling program

I couldn't get the video on my site :(

Deposit fees will now be charged on all milk containers in hopes of getting more people to recycle

Alberta will soon be the first province in the country to accept milk cartons at bottle depots. The new regulation is part of a complete overhaul of Alberta's bottle recycling strategy. The goal under the "Too Good to Waste" program is to increase recycling rates from 75 per cent to 85 per cent or higher. Currently, around two-billion beverage containers are sold in Alberta every year, but only 500-million are recycled.
