First Nations Waste Minimization PROGRAM

Waste Site

Starting a waste reduction program is easier to do with support from all levels – Chief, Council, landfill staff, teachers, and community members. It’s also more likely to be successful and last over time.

Reducing Waste at the Waste site.

Within your landfill or transfer station are a variety of materials that can or should be removed. Some are hazardous and toxic while others can be reused or recycled.

There are many environmental, economic and health benefits for your community when waste sites are effectively managed. Optimizing the operations of your community’s waste site leads to a more sustainable, more prosperous and healthier community.
