Recycling & Waste Management

Recycling Program

The Town of Vermilion, AB supports an extensive recycling program, because we have gone green! We believe in doing our part to contribute to the earth’s wellness, and to our children’s future. All of our residents are encouraged to fully participate, which contributes to the reduction of waste taken to the transfer station.

  • Residential Garbage Collection
    The Town of Vermilion provides garbage collection service to residential areas weekly. When a collection day falls on a statutory holiday, service will normally be provided on the next regular work day of the crew.

         Garbage Collection Instructions

  • Commercial/Industrial/Institutional Garbage Collection
    Service is provided as required by each business.
  • Scrap Metal, Tires, White Goods (Major Appliances) and Batteries
    Diversion of materials is done at the Vermilion River Regional Transfer Station.
  • Grass and Yard Wastes

This program operates from May-October, with bins placed throughout the town for disposal of grass and garden waste, and emptied weekly for composting.

The Transfer Station Site
Located 1 ½ Kilometres North of Vermilion on Pare Drive.
Open 9-5PM, closed on Sundays and Statutory Waste Management Services

Vermilion Recycling Centre 

The Vermilion Recycling Centre is made possible through a recycling levy on the Town of Vermilion Utility Bills and through the sale of processed material. Reducing the amount of material being hauled to the Vermilion Regional Transfer Station and becoming more environmentally friendly are two major goals of the program.

**Starting December 20th, 2011 the Vermilion Recycle Centre will be open at its new location 4018 - 52 Avenue (east of the Airport Terminal Building)

BIN Relocation - The bins at the Lakeland Mall have been moved to the new Vermilion Recycle Centre and are available to all local residents during normal operating hours.
