City of Cold Lake Awarded Recycling Contract
The City of Cold Lake has secured contracts to continue curbside collection, depot services, and recycling processing under Alberta’s new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Regulation.

Mayor Craig Copeland credits the City’s efficient operations and staff for winning the bid. There will be no changes to residential utility bills.
