ARMA’s ePilot Webinar
Update from ARMA – covering everything from the ePilot to HHW to Paint and more!
Wednesday, May 19, 2021, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am Mountain Time
Since the launch of ARMA’s Expanded Electronics Pilot Project in September 2020, the commitment from municipalities, Indigenous communities and processors has been strong despite the challenges wrought by COVID.
Over 200 participants registered to join us on May 19 to hear the latest on the ePilot including the data that tells the story of the products – and the volume – Albertans are recycling, the media campaign to generate more material, and the opportunity to divert even more products.
Additionally, ARMA spent some time discussing proposed changes to the electronics recycling program’s environmental fees as well as recent developments regarding the Household Hazardous Waste Program and the Paint Recycling Program.
We wanted to hear from you as well; the floor was open after our presentation and no question went unanswered including “how can we win the ePilot competition!”
We invite you to submit your further questions to epilot@albertarecycling.ca
