Environment Week!
Environment Week is an opportunity to say, "Thanks Alberta!" and to celebrate all the ways we’re lessening our impact on the environment. Albertans’ commitment to recycling diverts millions of tonnes of waste from landfills each year. The Beverage Container Management Board has teamed up again this year with the Alberta Used Oil Management Association and Alberta Recycling to promote Environment Week.
Visit the Environment Week web site at www.thankyoualberta.com for more information and to find out how to take part in the E-Week Challenge on Instagram by following @EnvironmentWeek.
Congratulations Alberta!
Alberta’s beverage container recycling industry is proud to celebrate a return rate of 86.2%, exceeding the goal of an 85% return rate set by the Government of Alberta. This equates to over 2 billion containers being returned to depots annually. This success is not only due to the hard work of industry stakeholders, but also to Albertans who are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of beverage container recycling and protecting our environment.
