Recycling is one way that we contribute to environmental sustainability and reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill, which in turn decreases long-term costs by extending the life of the landfill site. Recyclable materials are not accepted in garbage collection.
Please view the Recycling Schedule to find out your collection day.
Recycling program partners
Recycling services are possible through partnerships in the industry. Curbside recycling collection is contracted through the Prairie Harvest Employment Program (PHEP). PHEP collects the recycling using a truck and trailer. Recyclable materials go to Recyclability Enterprises for sorting.
