Alexandra NoadLETHBRIDGE HERALDBeginning Oct. 1, residential curbside recycling services will be available free of charge to several additional communities, as the province’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program enters Phase 2. As part of this, the City of Lethbridge has been contracted by circular Materials as the service provider for curbside recycling collection in 10 neighbouring communities. He adds that the communities are excited to provide this service to their residents at no extra charge. “Collection days will stay the same and curbside recycling will continue to be provided at no cost to residents.”
