Starting April 1, the Town of Peace River's recycling program will be managed by Circular Materials, a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating efficient recycling systems.
This change is part of Alberta's new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework, which shifts recycling costs from taxpayers to producers, encouraging innovative solutions and reducing packaging waste.
What This Means for You
- No Changes to Your Routine: Continue recycling as usual — collection schedules and accepted materials remain the same.
- New Recycling App: Launching April 1, the app will provide recycling schedules, material search, and service alerts. Visit circularmaterials.ca/app to learn more and download the app.
- New Resource for Recycling Information: Visit circularmaterials.ca/peaceriver for detailed information about recycling in Peace River, including guides and updates.
There may be hiccups in the transition process or new routines to get used to. For example, if you were used to recycling collection taking a particular route through town before, that may change with the new contractor and manager of the program. Be sure to have your material out by 7am on Thursdays, and if there is a missed pickup or similar issue, contact Prairie Disposal at 780-539-5950.
