Keeping Depots Informed
Periodically, the BCMB distributes notifications across the Alberta depot network. These notifications are to advise depot operators of important information related to things like by-law changes, compliance or areas of concern, suspicious containers, newly registered products or to clarify confusion about the sorting or acceptance of specific containers.
