In response to COVID-19, the Recycling Depots may be reducing their hours and services. Please contact your Recycling Depot to confirm their hours of operation prior to dropping off your electronics, paint, tires or used oil materials. Ensure social distancing best practice when visiting a depot. Thank you and stay safe!
The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) acts on behalf of the province to oversee all aspects of end-of-life processing of electronics, paint, tires and used oil materials. In addition, ARMA supports the administration of the Northwest Territories' electronics recycling program and Yukon's tire recycling program.
