The Business Waste Diversion Strategy was approved by City Council to reduce commercial and industrial waste in Lethbridge by 45% by 2030. The strategy, along with residential curbside recycling and new curbside organics programs, ensures that everyone works together to reduce waste in our city.
The City’s waste reduction target aims to reduce waste coming from Lethbridge by half. The City's waste audits demonstrate that the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) and the Construction and Demolition (C&D) sectors together have historically represented around two-thirds of landfilled waste each year. It is critical that everyone does their part to achieve this goal.
Whether large, small, family-owned, part of a national corporation, for-profit, or a charitable organization, these types of Lethbridge businesses fall under the Mandatory Recycling and Organics provisions within the City of Lethbridge’s Waste Bylaw 6146.
Mandatory Recycling and Organics is a requirement that recyclable and organic materials generated by staff, contractors, and visitors of Lethbridge businesses and organizations be diverted from the landfill.
