Effective immediately, the City of Camrose has adjusted what is allowed in residents’ green organics carts. The City typically only allows small pieces of cardboard with minimal graphics on it, but has made the change to allow all cardboard and paper products without staples or a spine. This is a temporary measure during these unprecedented times while the Recycle with Centra Cam facility is closed. Greg Lewin, Municipal Engineer, says, “The landfill is generally the last resort for waste management, and this change will allow this material to continue being diverted from there, which is a good thing.” The City encourages everyone to keep all recyclables as space allows, and to once again take their cardboard and paper products to the Recycle with Centra Cam facility when it reopens.”
Landfill Tips
• Minimize trips. • No cash accepted. Account, debit or credit transactions only. • One customer only in scale house at a time. • All customers must use provided hand sanitizer.
