That's Not Garbage!

 

Let's talk trash. We'd love to meet with your business or community group (seniors, ESL, church etc.) and talk about how you can minimize what goes into our landfills.

You'll learn about recycling at home and at work, composting and grasscycling. We'll talk about Eco Stations, our unique Reuse Centre, the world-famous Edmonton Waste Management Centre and how we're about to turn your household waste into methanol.

You pick the day, the evening or the weekend, and we'll come see you.
