Legislation

Under Alberta's Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act and Waste Control Regulation, composting facilities and landfills must be supervised by operators who are certified by Alberta Environment and Parks. The approval or registration for each facility specifies operator requirements.

What You Need

Landfill and composting facility operators must be at least 18 years of age and have one year of directly related experience. For detailed, official information, see Alberta Environment and Parks' Landfill and composting facility operator certification webpage or contact Alberta Environment and Parks.

Working in Alberta

Waste facility operators who are certified by and in good standing with a regulatory organization elsewhere in Canada may be eligible for certification in Alberta if certified operators in the two jurisdictions have similar responsibilities and competencies. For more information, see "What if I am already certified in another province or territory?" and the Alberta regulatory authority (below).

The certification information in this profile may change at any time and without notice. Before making any career decisions, we advise you to contact the regulatory organization or visit their website for the most updated information.
