The Passing of Sidney “Sid” Albert Hinton

The Board and staff of Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) are deeply saddened by the passing of Sidney “Sid” Albert Hinton on June 21, 2025, near Vermilion, Alberta, at the age of 76.

Sid joined ARMA in January 1999 as a Board Member and was appointed Board Chair in 2001. Over more than 14 years of dedicated service, he helped lead the organization through a time of significant transformation and growth. Under his guidance, ARMA expanded beyond tire recycling to include electronics recycling in 2004 and paint recycling in 2008—two important milestones that continue to benefit the province of Alberta.

Sid was more than a leader; he was a cornerstone of ARMA’s evolution. He played a vital role in shaping the organization’s direction, always bringing with him a strong sense of fairness, vision, responsibility, and unwavering common sense. His steady guidance was evident in every major challenge, decision, and success.

Sid’s legacy is woven into the fabric of ARMA and the broader recycling landscape in Alberta. His commitment to environmental stewardship and public service leaves a lasting impact that will be remembered for years to come.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sid’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
