No more curbside recycling fees in Lethbridge, facility to be fully paid off
Residents of Alberta will see their bills go down a bit starting on April 1, 2025.
The Government of Alberta’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program takes effect next month, which puts the cost of recycling items like printed paper, packaging, foods, beverages, household items and more on the producers of those goods.
The EPR program will be pushed out to every residential recycling program in Alberta.
For the City of Lethbridge, it says residents will no longer have to pay for curbside recycling collection, decreasing utility bills by $7 to $9 per month, depending on the type of recycling collection they have.
