Waste Reduction Week 2012 - October 15-21, 2012 2011

Welcome to Waste Reduction Week in Canada! We want to challenge you to reduce your ecological footprint through the actions and activities located in this section. And we hope to inspire you to come up with your own, unique, creative ways to reduce waste.

Since 2001, National Waste Reduction Week in Canada (WRW) has been organized by a coalition of non-government, not-for-profit environment groups, including RCBC, from each of the 13 participating provincial and territorial jurisdictions across Canada.

Ease My Load

compost

The WRW mascot Atlas has a heavy burden carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, and the waste we produce doesn't make is job any easier! We want you to show the rest of Canada how you're helping to ease Atlas' load through your own reduce, reuse and recycle activities.

Recycle My Cell

The RECYCLE MY CELL national cell phone recycling program wants to help Atlas ease his load by making sure that all old and out-of-use cell phones, smartphones, wireless PDAs, pagers as well as their batteries and accessories are properly recycled.

The Recycle My Cell Challenge! challenges Canadian students from kindergarten to post secondary are to recycle as many old wireless devices and accessories.

Check out the contest details and join the Recycle My Cell Challenge!
