And it was pretty appalling in the mid 1980s when I realized that Calgary (and Edmonton) had recycling/bottle depots that took back EVERYTHING - pop bottles, milk jugs, you name it.

So you're telling me that for profit recyclers accepted, for free, items that did not require a deposit and had no facilities for reworking the product locally ? I'd sure like to hear more, but am inclinded to call BS on that. Feel free to enlighten me.
Y'know freeweed, you don't need to take anything that isn't fawning praise of your city as some sort of direct insult. You need some thicker skin.
For the record, in the 80's my hometown of Veron BC, you could recycle beer and pop cans and bottles, anything glass, newsprint & all wood fibre products and metal cans. Plastic recycling facilities didn't really exist yet.
