Description

Commercial buildings are responsible for their own waste collection. While the province is expected to require significant organics diversion in these buildings by 2025, additional educational and resource supports will help owners and occupants develop the practical solutions needed to implement organics collection.

This action will be led by community capacity builders such as Sustainable Waterloo Region. Please see below for the most recent publicly available updates.
