Recycling changes are coming to Wainwright!

By Town of Wainwright - March 21, 2025
Starting April 1, 2025, Alberta’s new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulation shifts recycling costs from taxpayers to producers. This means the Town of Wainwright will no longer be responsible for curbside recycling—Circular Materials will oversee the program on behalf of the province.
When utility bills come out in May you will notice that you are no longer being charged for blue bag recycling. As of April 1, the provincial EPR program covers this cost.
Wainwright’s local recycling contact is Empringham Disposal, which can be reached at 403-392-3870 or rio@empringhamdisposal.com
More details coming soon at circularmaterials.ca/wainwright (live April 1st).
