Gets a Revamp We’re all familiar with reduce, reuse, and recycle. Now, communities are having to rethink waste management, too. BY MARKWELL LYON

of their blue recycling bags are much reduced. Gone are glass containers, some types of plastic packaging, cla mshells, single-serve cups, non-deposit tetra packs, and other plastic and paper waste. The new rules, which took effect in November 2018, caused some initial confusion and consternation, which was shared across central Alberta and beyond. But this could be just the start of things to come, as communities such as St. Albert grapple with the environmental and financial costs of waste.
