Curbside Recycling Update + Summer Safety Reminders
Camrose residents will receive curbside recycling collection starting October 1, 2026, at no additional cost. The service, managed by Circular Materials, will run every two weeks alongside garbage and compost collection. Residents will use clear or blue bags for recyclables. A wide range of materials will be accepted, including paper, plastics #1-7, cardboard, glass, metal, film plastics, and Styrofoam.
The City of Camrose is continuing preparations for the new residential curbside recycling service, which is still expected to begin on October 1, 2026. This program is part of Alberta's Extended Producer Responsibility framework, designed to streamline how our community handles recyclable materials.
Under the new guidelines, collection will occur every two weeks, and residents will be using clear or blue bags for their recyclable items. Pickup is scheduled to happen on the same day as garbage and compost collection, making it easier for households to manage their weekly routines.
In the meantime, the City is reminding everyone to prioritize safety during these warm summer months. Staying hydrated and being aware of extreme heat advisories are crucial for residents of all ages.
A simple but powerful way to support our community is to check in on neighbors, especially those who may be more vulnerable to high temperatures. Looking out for one another ensures that everyone in Camrose can enjoy the season safely.
