Heartland Disposal & Recycling is COR (Certificate of Recognition) certified in Alberta, an important safety milestone that demonstrates the company’s commitment to protecting workers, managing risk, and operating to recognized industry standards.


What COR Certification Means


The Certificate of Recognition is a provincial safety accreditation awarded to companies that develop and maintain a comprehensive health and safety management system that meets Alberta’s occupational health and safety requirements.

To earn COR certification, an organization must undergo a detailed independent audit reviewing safety policies, procedures, training programs, and on-site practices. The audit verifies that safety is not just documented on paper but actively implemented across day-to-day operations.

Why It Matters on Job Sites

For customers, COR certification provides confidence that Heartland operates with disciplined safety practices that reduce risk on active job sites.

Construction companies, municipalities, and industrial clients often require COR-certified contractors to meet their own safety and procurement standards.

Working with a COR-certified provider also helps streamline approvals and ensures projects meet the expectations of regulated and multi-contractor environments.

A Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Heartland’s COR certification reflects a long-term commitment to responsible operations and continuous improvement.

The certification must be maintained through regular audits and ongoing safety management, reinforcing Heartland’s role as a dependable partner for equipment rentals, waste management services, and construction support throughout Alberta.
