A copy of the presentation will be shared with members after the event.
Key Background:
In November 2022, the Government of Alberta passed regulations to reduce the financial burden of recycling on municipalities by shifting the physical and financial responsibility of collecting, processing, and recycling materials from municipalities to producers.
Your community will have choices to make:
For your community to be eligible for EPR, it must indicate its interest to ARMA by registering with ARMA. This involves answering a questionnaire about your municipality’s current recycling and HHW program on ARMA’s website. Registering does not commit your community to EPR; it simply means that your community remains eligible to make choices.
