This year the provincial and territorial organizers of Waste Reduction Week in Canada will focus on municipalities, schools and business and how each part of society can make a difference in the amount of waste that is produced across Canada. With the help of promotional and resource materials, facts and statistics on current wasteful practices and activities to engage them, participants are encouraged to contribute to solutions for waste-free living.

Local governments need to lead their communities by example. Municipalities dedicated to waste reduction and environmental sustainability through their own operations are in a much better position to educate and encourage their residents and businesses to practice the 3Rs everyday.

The Waste Reduction Week in Canada Municipal Kit and Poster are a great starting point for any local government officer, educator or decision-maker who wants their community to reduce the amount of waste they are producing as well as providing employees themselves with valuable information.

You can also Register your municipality online to receive a hardcopy of the kit and a colour poster. Your community name will also be listed on our website with others from across the country to show that you are making an effort to minimize Canada's waste.
