Residential Access
All Town residents have access to recycling services at the Eco Centre. Access is provided through the Residential Monthly Base Rate charged on monthly utility bills.
Even residential premises that do not have access to the curbside collection services (i.e. Apartment Buildings and Residential Complexes) have access to the Eco Centre for recycling services, through the Monthly Base Rate charged on monthly utility bills.
See below for how to get your 'Rocky Pass' for Eco Centre access.
If a residential household produces more garbage than it can dispose of in the curbside black bin, they can dispose excess residential waste at the Eco Centre (fees apply).
Non-Residential Access
Town Businesses have access to recycling services at the Eco Centre. Access is provided through the Non-Residential Monthly Base Rate charged on monthly utility bills. See below for how to get your 'Rocky Pass' for Eco Centre access.
Non-Residential customers will be responsible directly to an independent Collection Contractor for Waste Collection pickup service fees (i.e. no commercial waste accepted at the Eco Centre).
Non-Residents
Non-residents and out-of-town businesses may purchase a 'Rocky Pass' for annual access to the Eco Centre recycling services.
All rates are outlined under the Town's Fees, Rates and Charges Bylaw.
Getting your Rocky Pass for Eco Centre Access
All users of the Eco Centre must have an Access Card, also known as a 'Rocky Pass', to access and use the Eco Centre.
Cards can be picked up at no cost from the Town Office (5116-50 Ave) or the Rocky Regional Recreation Centre Guest Services (5332-50 St) with proof of Town address, such as: utility invoice with street address; rent receipt with street address; or Driver's licence showing street address.
Non-residents can purchase their 'Rocky Pass' from the Town Office (5116-50 Ave) or the Rocky Regional Recreation Centre Guest Services (5332-50 St). The cost for annual access for non-residents is $204.00.

Will the Re-Use Shed ever reopen?
No, this service has been discontinued.
Residents are encouraged to consider other ways to divert or re-use their unwanted items, such as:
- Donating directly to a non-profit;
- Participating in Kick it to the Curb;
- Breaking down items into their recyclable material parts;
- Advertising items for sale; and
- Learning about the Circular Economy and the role household consumers can play in overall waste reduction.
