Time is running out to take our survey on how we can manage waste in the long term. Your feedback will benefit the people you care about and the environment we live in. The survey closes at the end of May, so don't miss your chance to shape the future: engagewr.ca/LTWMS.
Attention gardeners! 🌻 🌳 Compost is still available in limited quantities at our Waterloo and Cambridge waste management locations. The compost giveaway ends on Saturday, May 24, or sooner if we run out. Details on our website 👉 bit.ly/3zow3kc
ALT Large piles of soil on a bare landscape with sparse grass and a few trees in the background.
Do you have ideas on how we can manage waste sustainably and affordably? Help us shape the Long-term Waste Management Strategy by participating in our survey: engagewr.ca/LTWMS. Your feedback will help create an effective waste management plan for our growing community.
We captured 51,572 tonnes of methane gas emitted from the Waterloo Landfill last year. Methane impacts global warming 28 times more than CO2. This generated 24,055 MWh of electricity, equal to powering 2,668 homes. Thanks to our public works teams making great things happen #NPWW
What can we do to reduce more waste, and why is it so important? Learn about how you can help us manage waste sustainably and affordably by joining the Long-Term Waste Management Strategy discussion tonight at 6 p.m. or Thursday at 1 p.m. Register at EngageWR.ca/LTWMS.
Thanks to all who joined us on Saturday for Waste Discovery Day! Over 630 people explored the Waterloo landfill, saw our new waste collection carts and checked out waste operations behind the scenes.
We’ll see you all next time round!
Waste Discovery Day is tomorrow (May 10)! While our bus tours are full, there's much more to see and do at the Waterloo landfill. Drop-in from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to get up close with heavy equipment and meet our falconer. Details here: regionofwaterloo.ca/WasteDis…
