Advisory Councils

Alberta Recycling Management Authority's (ARMA) Board of Directors appoints members to the Advisory Councils of Electronics Recycling Alberta, Paint Recycling Alberta, Tire Recycling Alberta, and Used Oil Recycling Alberta.

Alberta Recycling Management Authority works with Albertans from all areas of our province, as such, we acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to live among, travel through and care for the land in the area currently known as Alberta. The relationship that Indigenous Peoples of Treaty 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 have with the land is founded on a deep respect and relationship with the environment. This connection forms the foundation of our responsibility and vision of inspiring a future without waste.
