Every year, ARMA helps Municipalities, Indigenous communities, regional waste authorities and commissions, and registered collection sites facilitate Recycling Roundups to collect electronics, paint, tires, and used oil materials for recycling.
These events are run by communities throughout Alberta to help residents divert materials from landfills. If you have any questions about the details of the event, please contact the host. Learn more about available grants to support community roundups, like the Beyond-the-Bin Grant.
Electronics Recycling Roundups offer schools, non-profit organizations, community groups, and businesses the opportunity to promote environmental responsibility. These events make it easier for people to recycle old electronics and increase community awareness about the importance of proper electronic disposal.
All collected items must be eligible under the ARMA Electronics Recycling Program. Wondering what you can recycle? See the list of accepted electronic materials here.
ARMA hosts regular Commercial Paint Roundups in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer. To qualify, all paint or paint-related materials must be part of the ARMA Paint Recycling Program. Learn more about what paint materials can be recycled.
Accepted items include latex (water-based) and non-latex (oil-based) paints, stains, varnishes, lacquers, mineral spirits, paint thinners, primers, sealers, undercoats, wood preservatives, deck cleaners, and paint strippers. All items must be in their original containers and between 100 mL and 23 L.
Couriers and delivery drivers must wait while their loads are inspected. Non-eligible materials will be returned to the driver. Common ineligible items include two-component paints and post-catalyzed lacquers.
Drop-offs are only allowed during designated event times. A strict cut-off will be enforced to allow for sorting and transport.
Roundups are hosted by ARMA partner organizations. Want to get involved? Check back regularly for upcoming events or learn how your organization can apply to host a Recycling Roundup through our grant program.
