A Guide To Recycling with Claystone

We get it – recycling can be confusing. What goes where, what needs to be cleaned, what needs to be bagged or tied…? Don’t worry. This guide will help you understand what we accept at our Transfer Stations, and how best to prepare it for easy, quick disposal.

recycling-cardboard

Cardboard and Paper

Cardboard and paper recycling is available to residents and businesses of Beaver County. The cardboard needs to be flattened. If paper or cardboard is wet or soiled, please dispose of it with your unrecyclable waste. Unfortunately, soiled materials contaminate the load and make recycling harder, or in some cases impossible. Sort paper and cardboard and place in the proper bin. Dedicated bins are located in Ryley and Holden, and at the Lindbrook, Tofield, and Viking Transfer Stations.

recycling-paint

Paint

Disposal of paint for recycling is available at the Lindbrook, Viking, and Ryley Transfer Stations. The paint recycling program is facilitated through the Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA).

recycling-grain-bags

Grain Bags

Twine and grain bags can be recycled under a three-year pilot program which is funded by the Government of Alberta.

The pilot program is operated by Cleanfarms and is available free of charge to all Albertans. Be sure to reference the following instructions prior to dropping off your grain bags and twine for recycling to avoid rejection or tipping fees.

Grain Bag Recycling

  1. Shake – Remove debris; grain bags need to be as clean as possible with care to remove as much organic material (spoilage, dirt, etc.) before or during rolling. Excessively dirty or loose/unrolled bags may be rejected or subject to a landfill tipping fee or additional charges at drop-off.
  2. Roll – Prepare grain bags by tightly rolling them with a mechanical grain bag roller or baler, and then securing them tightly with twine.
  3. Return – Grain bags can be brought to the Ryley Transfer Station at the landfill. Please contact 780-663-2038 and leave a message about scheduling a Tuesday drop-off prior to dropping off the material.

 

Twine Recycling

  1. Shake – Remove as much debris, snow, or ice as possible. Excessively dirty twine may be rejected or subject to a landfill tipping fee or additional charges at drop-off.
  2. Bag – Place loose twine in a clear collection bag, poke holes in the bottom to drain moisture, and secure the bag closed with twine or a zip tie. Please do not knot the twine. Twine collection bags made from 90% PCR content with perforated holes in the bottom are available at no cost to producers and can be obtained at the Ryley Transfer Station at the Claystone Regional Landfill in Beaver County or the Viking Transfer Station.
  3. Return – Return to the Ryley Transfer Station at the Claystone Regional Landfill in Beaver County or the Viking Transfer Station.

 

Grain bag drop-offs must be pre-scheduled and take place on Tuesdays.

Please call 780-663-2038 and leave a message about scheduling a Tuesday drop-off.
