This is a petition to help AP Recycling/Bottle Depot, currently situated near the Currie Barracks Farmers Market (CBF Base), find a new home in the SW. Why is it closing -Canada Lands has refused to renew APs lease and is renting the space to them on a month to month basis until they close AP down to make room for approved housing developments. How can we help -By lobbying the City of Calgary and City Planners for Recycling Centre Zoning near residential/commercial property -Bringing focus to the City Sarcee Yards (SW of Westhills, behind Safeway) as a location for AP Recycling / Bottle Depot to open a new facility Why find AP a new home -It is the ONLY public plastic recycling drop off in the Calgary area! -It is easily accessible and convenient for all recycled goods in SW Calgary and compliments the curb-side program (which does not consider those living in Apartments/Condos or Businesses) -It provides companies with an easily accessible drop off for their plastic recycling programs (Example: Morning Sun Health Food does a bottle return program for $0.50 or $1 off a purchase) -AP is not just a recycling depot, but a group of concerned and passionate employees committed to promoting recycling and moving us towards a greener city! AP has a history of assisting fundraisers and benefits. Once complete this petition will be delivered to the SW Community Associations, SW Aldermen, City Planners and Council as a plea for a greener city with accessible recycling facilities for all areas of Calgary. We, the undersigned, support city zoning for recycling centres and finding AP a new facility in SW Calgary.

ridiculous to close the only accessible plastic recycling spot in the area. city planners need to wake up.

we need this place. where else are we supposed to take our recycling when the city pickup doesnt even cover our building?
