ECCO Recycling Ruled in Violation of City Bylaws | Calgary News

A Calgary judge has ruled ECCO Recycling violated land-use bylaws by storing excessive dry waste, finding they knowingly ignored city orders for months — though the court denied the city’s request for daily fines or property access, leaving enforcement options open. The ruling comes amid ongoing legal battles over ECCO’s landfill operations, which also face separate scrutiny for a stubborn fire burning for over a week, forcing air quality warnings and health concerns for nearby residents. While ECCO pledged to clear the waste pile by May’s end, drone footage revealed it was merely relocated, not removed — fueling public frustration and prompting calls for tighter regulations on urban waste facilities as officials push for faster release of air quality data and investigate the fire’s cause.
