Biosak Relieves the Pressure On Landfills To Use Plastic Garbage Bags

The City of Calgary, along with many Canadian cities is committed to reducing the amount of waste going to landfills. Today, 80 percent of Calgary's waste is sent to the landfills. Twenty per cent of that waste is recycled. But, with an innovative recycling program called 80/20, by 2020, they hope to reverse this trend and have 80 percent or more of their waste material recycled by 2020. Restmüllsäcke kaufen

Part of the program is the Leaf and Pumpkin Composting, which sees the 32 participating locations and three city landfills collecting more than 2,000 tonnes each fall from pumpkins and leaves.

This fertile soil booster will be used in many green spaces around the city. The compost material will also helps reduce greenhouse gases by keeping millions of kilograms of organic material out of our landfills. This information was found on the City of Calgary Website and specifically on their Leaf and Pumpkin Composting Program page. This link is at the end.
