A look inside Calgary's new recycling facility

Ever wonder what happens to your recycling once you've put it in the bin? Jillian Code has this look inside the city's recycling building.

Do more Calgarians, for the children's futures.

I wonder what the craziest thing they found on the recycling line is?

I WORKED @ LAIDLAW IN MISSISSAUGA BACK IN THE DAYS ... USED CONDOMS AND DIRTY DIAPERS WAS THE WORST. & 70 TO 80 % OF PLASTIC DOESN'T GET RECYCLED :(

I used to love my job at the plant. At the time many cereal companies were running freebie cut out promotions on their boxes that many people wouldn't bother to cut out. I would collect those and end up with a bunch of free quiznos subs and 1L coco milk from macs milk and movie tickets a bunch of those. That was a disgustingly fun job but very long and by the end of the shift I would have delirium and the room would be spinning from watching the belt

In most of Canada once it goes in to the recycling bin it gets sent off to Asia. Calgary is different though and they actually recycle the proper way. Industry leaders.
Just wanted to say that before the recycling naysayers get here. Recycling works differently in Calgary than it does in Ontario.
