Alberta CARE Education and Awareness

Alberta CARE has played an active role in waste management education and awareness:

• Alberta CARE holds a successful, annual Alberta Recycling Conference which is an excellent forum to meet and discuss waste management and recycling matters of mutual interest.

• Alberta CARE has submitted grant applications on behalf of northern schools to receive paper recycling bins and has organized the delivery of those bins. 

• Alberta CARE has held more than 100 vermi-composting presentations in northern schools. Alberta CARE is currently training-the-trainers to continue doing vermi-composting presentations in schools.

• Alberta CARE has presented community recycling workshops. Residents have the opportunity to receive information on what can be recycled and what the end result is of the recycled materials.
