• Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) coming to Alberta
• How we got here
• How it will save municipalities money
• How your community can participate
• The decisions you need to make
• potential impact on municipalities, and
• provide an opportunity to answer your questions.

Who should attend?

This virtual engagement is open to municipal staff working in solid waste and recycling. Attendance is limited to individuals that are elected to or employed with municipalities that are a Regular Member of ABmunis.

Materials

A copy of the presentation will be shared with members after the engagements.

Key Background

• In November 2022, the Government of Alberta passed regulations to reduce the financial burden of recycling on municipalities by shifting the physical and financial responsibility of collecting, processing and recycling materials—from municipalities to producers.

Your community will have choices to make.

• For your community to be eligible for EPR it must indicate its interest to ARMA through registering with ARMA. This involves answering a questionnaire on your municipality’s current recycling and HHW program on ARMA’s website. This does not mean that you are committing to EPR. It only means that your community remains eligible to make choices.
