Alberta has well-established recycling programs available to residents, including end-of-life management of household hazardous waste (HHW). On November 30, 2022, the Provincial Government enacted new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations mandating obligated producers to establish systems for managing a subset of HHW – hazardous and special products (HSP).
Starting April 1, 2025, Product Care Recycling will be responsible for the collection and management of HSP in Alberta. Residents are encouraged to bring their unwanted or leftover HSP to their nearest collection site or to a scheduled collection event/round-up.
Some Alberta municipalities may continue to accept HHW products that are NOT included as part of the HSP program. Residents are encouraged to check with their local municipality, review the accepted HSP product list, and locate nearby recycling sites through the recycling locator.
