2018 Waste Reduction Challenge
Members of the Waste Management Advisory Committee (WMAC) are pleased to announce the 2018 Waste Reduction Challenge. In our daily lives, we should always seek to move towards the ideal of a "Zero Waste" goal by increasing our conscious efforts to Reduce, Re-use and Recycle.
You can participate in the challenge by simply submitting new, creative or unique ideas and/or projects for waste reduction in your home, at your work, or where you play.
See details on the Information Form. Attach and submit all the information related to your Waste Reduction project, ideas, or creative solution! WMAC will review all submissions and announce winners during Waste Reduction Week (October 15 - 21, 2018).
