Cleanfarms, the organization involved in collecting agricultural plastics for recycling, has opened an office in Lethbridge, its first one in Alberta.
Davin Johnson, an environmental scientist with a background in the oil and gas, academic, government and agricultural sectors, will staff the new site, which is the fourth Cleanfarms location in Canada. The others are in Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
General manager Barry Friesen said the new location reflects the position of agriculture in the province.
“Alberta’s importance as an executive hub for agricultural industry is growing. That, combined with its position as a prairie powerhouse for agriculture in Canada, points to the need for Cleanfarms to have feet on the ground in the province, too.”
