Okotoks administration has proposed a full cost recovery recycling plan for the town. The proposal includes the green, blue and black bins. Councillor Tanya Thorn says that the proposal at this moment is just that a proposal.

"It looks at what it would cost for the town to have a full cost recovery on full recycling," Thorn says.

Thorn says that another proposal will be brought back to council before September of 2016.

"Administration will come back before council with a couple different proposals and from there we will discuss pricing."

Now while not all residents take part in the recycling and waste programs they still will pay a fee towards the recycling depot.

"Every resident pays that fee, because every resident whether they choose to or not has access to the recycling depot," says Thorn.
