Nov 24, 2024 | 1:00 PM

Ponoka’s waste transfer station is award-winning.

The facility was recently named winner of the Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) 2024 Collection Site Award of Excellence.

This was presented at the Alberta CARE Recycling Conference in Bonnyville.

“This is a well-deserved award for our team at the town’s waste transfer station,” said town CAO Sandra Lund.

“The town is committed to operational and service excellence, which includes our waste management practices where much of the focus is on reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfills. We do this through our curbside waste collection program that includes the collection of recyclable and compostable waste, as well as through numerous programs that are offered free year-round at our waste transfer station.”
