The Organization

The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) acts on behalf of the province to oversee end-of-life processing of tires, electronics, paint, and used oil materials.

ARMA is accountable to the Minister of Environment and Protected Areas and, hence, to the people of Alberta.

Currently, Industry Council Members meet three times per year in February, June, and October during regular business hours.
