The September 2025 webinar on Pet waste in the green cart: how Calgary makes it work offers an interesting example of how everyday waste management depends on practical systems, proper planning, and facilities that support routine activities.

Interestingly, this same approach applies to construction sites and industrial projects, where even the smaller facilities can have a significant effect on daily operations.

Nice little rabbit hole if you enjoy stats.
