Commitment to the Future
Wainwright
supported the Province of Alberta's commitment to reduce solid waste disposal fifty percent by
the year 2000. To acheive that goal, residents actively participated in reducing, reusing and
recycling their household waste. This effort will decrease the amount of waste required to be
incinerated therby reducing the costs associated to the residents.
The Town of Wainwright has chosen to implement a community oriented drop-off recycling program as one part of the solution. This program will allow residents the convenience of disposing their recyclables within our community at the Falcon Waste Recovery Depot.
