DID YOU KNOW?
Instead of throwing out your reusable products,
there are plenty of opportunities to recycle.
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo runs a curbside pickup
program that collects plastic, glass, paper and cardboard materials.
There are also seasonal programs such as the curbside garden
waste pickup program for grass clippings and other waste.
With frequent scheduled pickups, it’s easy to help reduce impacts
on the environment.
