For those not familiar with eco stations, most things you bring in you don't get charged. Only of it's things they can't recycle or if it is plain garbage. For my case I didn't pay anything and can't good it wasn't going into the landfill. Friendly staff at this location and they all will ask enough questions to help get a person to the right areas/assist with unloading. Bins are decently spaced out for good flow of traffic and ease to pull up. Bin area and surrounding lot was well cleared of snow. The main centre yesterday was operating with one bay (#2) and still had numerous staff on hand to help unload and sort. As I was driving in, I noticed some great examples of upcycled Christmas cheer and I'm kicking myself for not taking more photos of the creative things like the tire Christmas tree. I do want to warn yelpers that this location has a very subtle entrance (you see a very clear large sign for the eco station but not at the entrance only at the curb along the street driving up to the actual entrance and less clear sign positioned further back indicating the entrance of the eco station roadway). It oddly has a much longer road than most to enter winding around the 1/2 the facility (assuming that's in order to help with summer higher traffic flow, as I've seen other stations back up with vehicles waiting on the main streets before but I mention this as one you turn in there's no getting back out until the official exit). I don't mind that bit of extra driving and as I was one of the few there, it was quick but I found it odd that a city facility doesn't have the road cleared within its fences but only the yard area of the bins. So definitely make sure you have winter tires to make it in and out of this facility area if you go during the colder months of the year. I also want to add that I didn't know there was a reuse centre at this location. Unfortunately I didn't know about it until exiting (when taking the photo), so I didn't ask about operation hours nor did staff mention if it was even open or that it was even there. Maybe it has different operating hours at the moment or is closed in winter? Maybe it's like the other reuse centres and not open yet? Who knows during the pandemic, as things can change so much in just a week. I'll be sure to investigate further on my next visit and report back.

It's an experience that makes me realize how privileged I am to be an Edmontonian!! *sniff* Anyhow, this Eco Station is a part of a futuristic mecca where conscientious citizens drop off recyclable, hazardous and/or reusable materials for little to no cost, cuz that's how we roll. Last time we dropped off a BBQ and picked up a patio chair. I also get the sense that this is a place for young people to get work experience and build their CVs. I am very happy my municipal taxes pay for a service like this. There's a Reuse centre onsite as well.

Woohoo, Garbage Science!…read more Public tours are offered Fridays and I would recommend it, even to people who aren't passionate about waste management. This facility is top notch and world renowned! Heck ya YEG! I took part of a VIP tour last Saturday as part of a Waste Reduction and Management course I am taking through the City of Edmonton called Master Composter Recylcler (also recommended if you are into that sort of thing!) We visited the tip floors, the Integrated Processing and Transfer Facility where your garbage gets transported and sorted into compostables, biofuel waste feed and landfill (booo). Next on the tour was the Material Recovery Facility where your blue bag recyclables get sorted and sold off to manufacturers. Lastly also visited the Composting facility (a rare gem internationally because of it's size!). They are on the final stages of commissioning their Waste to Biofuel plant where once running almost 90% of all waste will be diverted from going to the landfill. WOO! Lastly there is also the E-Waste facility and the Construction and Demolition facility. I suggest this tour for every single person any age, even if garbage isn't what you think about daily. It's so informational, the tour guides are awesome and really make garbage learning enjoyable. You will come out of the tour inspired to reduce your waste or know more about how waste is managed and what can and cannot go in your blue bins (important!). Here is the link to make it easier for you! Book your tour! : https://www.edmonton.ca/programs_services/garbage_waste/edmonton-waste-management-centre.aspx

While I had…read morepreviously been on a tour of the facility in the early 2000s, a lot has changed in the intervening time and so it was great to visit once again! Not only did I get some better waste management tips to follow with regard to my household waste, but I learned more in depth about how things are currently handled which was utterly lovely. Staff were really great to watch work, the technology seemed fascinating, and the educational staff who could answer our questions were really helpful. We asked a lot of questions. Maybe someday I'll get an even longer more in depth tour but for now I'm happy to have learned what I have, and I enjoyed the time I was able to spend here.
