Tell One Friend: Time to Talk Future of Waste

Waste Services is proposing big changes to the way Edmontonians sort and manage their waste at home and work. You can help shape your future waste management system!

Everyone has a role to play in managing Edmonton’s waste, to ensure a cleaner, sustainable future for our city. This fall, the City will be seeking input from Edmontonians about these proposed changes.

We need your help -- tell your friends, family, colleagues and community members about upcoming public engagement opportunities, and encourage them to participate. Share your voice, shape your city.

From October 1 - November 15, 2018, residents can attend an upcoming drop-in session and complete our online survey.

Sign up for our monthly Future of Waste e-news, for updates and upcoming public engagement opportunities.


One Small Ask
“Will you go to the web page and look at the survey? You can decide if you have the time to complete it”

Give Feedback
“Hey, I saw you at one of our Future of Waste drop-in sessions. That’s great you’re being active in the community and sharing your voice.”

Create Social Norms
“There are a lot of people in our community sharing their thoughts about the proposed waste collection changes. Have you shared yours through the survey or at a drop-in session?”
