Notices

All cardboard including Cereal boxes, Detergent boxes and Paper tubes must be separated from any other items for recycle for all our services. Please use a box or a bag to contain it. Make sure cardboard is cut down so it is less than 1 square meter.

Plastic Grocery bags are disappearing so, please use small transparent bluebags for your plastic and tin.

Loose tin lids, single use paper coffee/soda cups, and Tetra Paks and cartons containing anything other than juices or milks are garbage in Camrose. Go to How It Works below for more details.

Paper pet food bags are rejected at the depot now. You may reuse the plastic ones for your paper.

When something is left behind in your BlueBox, it is probably garbage, wet, or filth, and MUST BE EMPTIED OUT before your next pick-up.

How It Works for REGULAR/DOORSTEP SERVICE+SSS

Everyone take appropriate measures so your stuff doesn't blow away!

The BLUEBOX is for clear GLASS and heavier items and must be OUT in plain view so the driver knows where to stop. 

25 LBS. is the maximum single weight of a box/bag. When you have an unusual load of stuff, add one more box or contact us for Special pickup.

We take more things for recycling than any other company

When using Regular/Doorstep/SSService, the following items are to be separated in bags.

Rinse and dry all your containers, and discard the caps and lids unless you see the recycle logo.

  • Old Newspapers/Flyers (paper with serrated edges) - in a plastic bag because if it gets wet, it has no value. (See Paper Definitions below)
  • Magazines (Glossy & Shiny) - go in the bottom loose (see Paper Definitions below)
  • Any Electronics/Rechargeable Batteries (use a plastic bag) unless they are big things like car batteries.
  • Flattened Cardboard only  (1 square meter maximum size) if you have too much for the Bluebox, bundle them/use another box/call us to request a Bulk Bag for a Special Pickup. When left loose on the ground, cardboard will blow away.
  • DVDs, CDs, and Ink Cartridges in a plastic bag
  • ALL soft plastic bags go into a plastic bag tied shut (remove zippers, hard plastic, or metal) Plastic Bags and Hard Plastics must be separated from each other.
  • Office Paper in an envelope/plastic/reusable bag (scroll down to see Paper Definitions)
  • Mixed Paper in a paper/plastic/reusable bag (see Paper Definitions)
  • Food cans go into a bag. (for cardboard body tins, separate the tin from the cardboard or they are garbage. The easy way is to soak it in hot water for an hour first. Trap loose tin lids inside a larger can or discard them.
  • All drink containers (empties) including Boost, milk, Juices etc. go into a plastic bag
Hard plastics--Plastics must have #1,2, or 5 in the recycle symbol on it (usually on the bottom). They go into a large translucent/transparent bag. Pay close attention for #7, 6, 4, and 3 plastics - most coffee lids, Styrofoam, and some mini yogurts because they are all garbage.

When you have 3 or less of a small item (tin or plastics), wait till you have more to fill a bag. 

Please, contact us @ 780-608-5723 when you’re unsure about any of this information!!! 

Shredded Paper always goes into a separate transparent plastic bag knotted shut. ALL Black garbage bags will be ignored and left behind.


Clothing Donations for Centracam's Emergency Clothing & Furniture Depot (E.C.F.D.) goes into a translucent/transparent plastic bag and please, call us for large donations.

Always let us know ASAP when your BlueBox goes missing. We are committed to providing you with the highest level of customer satisfaction possible, so please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we'd love to hear from you.

Please remember, if your recycling is not picked up on your regular day, stay calm. 

We may have just missed it. 

When it is still out there at noon the following day, call us ASAP so we can make the pickup.
