Committed to a cleaner future
Originally established in 1992 to manage the province’s tire recycling program, Alberta Recycling has since evolved to include Tire Recycling Alberta, Electronics Recycling Alberta and, as of April 1, 2008, Paint Recycling Alberta. These programs, operated under seperate divisions are funded by Advance Disposal fees collected at the time of sale of eligible products such as new passenger car and truck tires, new TVs and computers, or paint. Through the success of these significant provincial recycling programs, Alberta Recycling has demonstrated the clear and direct benefit of multi-material administration by applying consistent policies and procedures for environmental stewardship and through improved efficiencies cost effectiveness.
Committed to environmental outcomes
More than ever, Alberta Recycling programs are recognized as some of the best recycling programs in Canada and around the world. Tire recycling initiatives created by Albertans have contributed to the development of new, innovative end-uses for recycled tires and given life to a sustainable tire-recycling industry in Alberta that exports to the world. Alberta’s electronics recycling program, the first of its kind in Canada, ensures televisions and computer equipment are recycled in an economic and environmentally sound manner.
The end result? Albertans and the environment benefit from these programs.
Committed to accountability
Alberta Recycling is accountable to the Government of Alberta and to Albertans for the management of environmental fees and the environmental results they achieve through its electronics and tire recycling programs. To ensure accountability, the organization’s strategic business plan aligns directly to the mission, core businesses and waste minimization goals of Alberta Environment and the Government of Alberta.
