Alderman dumps on compost timeline

One Alderman is soiling the plans for citywide compost collection just days before the launch of a trial program in the Southwest.

Druh Ferrell believes the 2016 target date to roll-out a citywide program is too far in the future.

She tells The Calgary Sun Calgary is “so far behind other cities” but she is happy the program is moving forward.

The trial program starts Monday where city crews will collect organic waste from some eight-thousand homes in Abbeydale, Cougar Ridge, Southwood, and Brentwood.

City staffers estimate building the composting facility will cost about $60-million.
