Garbage and Recycling

Recycling

Alberta is transitioning residential recycling to an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system, which shifts responsibility for the cost of collecting, sorting and recycling designated materials from municipalities to the companies that produce them.

For Nanton residents, curbside recycling service will continue as usual. There are currently no changes to your collection provider or schedule. Beginning October 1, 2026, the next phase of EPR will expand the materials accepted for recycling.

Learn more about Alberta’s EPR program, what it means for Nanton, frequently asked questions and upcoming changes to recyclable materials.
