Metro Vancouver Solid Waste Management
Each year, people and businesses in the Lower Mainland generate 3 million tonnes of garbage and recyclables. Because of the economic and environmental costs of handling this vast amount of materials, reducing the amount of garbage - also called solid waste - we produce can be an important step for residents of the region.
Increasing the amount of recyclables that are processed into other products rather than winding up in landfills is one of a variety of things we can do to help this region move towards a long-term goal of sustainability.
