About the Let’s Talk Trash team
Our mission is:
To develop and implement an innovative education program on waste reduction strategies to help guide our community toward Zero Waste.
Waste Management in Powell River
Powell River is striving for Zero Waste. We aim to have zero discards burnt or buried, and instead, view our discards as potential resources for new use.
The community-wide education program is constantly evolving. Check out current initiatives at the top of the page and contact the team if you have any comments, questions or concerns.
