Tell One Friend: Try the WasteWise App

Try WasteWise on edmonton.ca/waste and then download the WasteWise App. The app answers easy questions about what waste goes where, when to set out waste, and more. WasteWise is available for FREE on Google Play, and Apple App Store. 

This one small ask can open the door to bigger behaviour changes down the road. The app is a great tool to help Edmontonains learn to sort their waste into the black cart and kitchen scrap carts effectively. Once residents begin sorting their kitchen scraps out of the garbage, the step towards home composting is much smaller. 

The WasteWise app can also help residents find out when their new carts arrive and the new collection schedule. Notifications can be set up online or through the app to remind residents when to set carts out for collection. 

As usual, it’s still an effective tool to use when it comes to sorting recycling and household hazardous waste if you don’t know where it goes!
