What's in the Strategy?
The 25-year Waste Strategy has several transformative recommendations that we are in the process of implementing:
- Adopt a Zero Waste Framework
- Lead by example in implementing source-separated organics in City-owned and operated buildings, facilities and attractions
- Introduce source-separated organics to the residential sector beginning with the citywide Edmonton Cart Rollout (complete)
- Expand source-separated organics to the multi-unit residential sector and the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional sector
- Cease commercial collections (in progress)
- Shift programming to support and inspire community-based waste reduction initiatives, including actions to limit single-use items
- Participate in efforts to promote Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies
