The principal initiative of the Edson and District Recycling Society since 1990, the Edson Recycle Depot, is the hub of all waste diversion programs in Edson, Hinton, and Yellowhead County.
The Edson Recycle Depot collects recyclable waste from residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional activities, and provides responsible disposal options for electronic waste, used oil, and other hazardous materials.
The Depot hosts the Toxic Round Up, Seniors Day, and other events that give citizens the opportunity to take environmental action together, as a community.
Edson residents have keenly practiced consumer-liable separation of recycling since 1991, and currently boast landfill disposal rates (149 kg per capita) that are nearly half the provincial average (289 kg per capita).
