Curbside recycling costs residents $5 per month (therefore a $10 recycling fee on the bi-monthly utility bill).
This fee covers payment for:
- The Prairie Harvest Employment Program (PHEP).
- Recyclability Enterprises sorting and baling.
Recycling
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.
Recycling program partners
Recycling services are made 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.
Information on curbside recycling is available in our Waste Programs Guide, here you will find details on what is classified as recyclable or garbage and where your recyclable materials go. You will also find businesses who provide recycling for special items. The guide includes a map of our recycling zones, recycling bag placement tips, and more.
