Chamber Member, Member Submission

The City is currently engaging with the non-residential sector, also known as the Industrial, Commercial and Industrial (ICI) sector. The goal is to gather input on proposed future actions that could advance waste reduction and diversion in this sector. 

In Edmonton, about 70% of waste generated comes from non-residential sources, such as businesses and institutions. Up to 80% of that waste could be reduced or diverted from landfill through approaches like reuse and salvage, recycling and composting. This presents both a significant challenge and a major opportunity.  

If your business or organization (like a grocery store, restaurant, food processor, developer or demolition company) generates non-residential waste, specifically food scraps, surplus edible food, construction waste or demolition materials, we want to hear from you.

Your feedback will help to further shape waste reduction and diversion actions into recommendations that will be presented to City Council as part of the first ICI waste roadmap.
