Waste Free Edmonton

Waste Free Edmonton is a grassroots, non-profit organization working to significantly reduce the amount of waste created in Edmonton by stopping it at the source. That means producing and consuming less at the front-end, and reusing and repurposing items wherever possible.

We have a number of initiatives, including a campaign centered around getting a significant reduction in the amount of single-use plastic items in Edmonton. In particular, we are asking city council to enact a bylaw that bans or puts a significant surcharge on single-use bags, in conjunction with a comprehensive public education and awareness program. In addition, we have developed a School Program, and are in the process of developing a Fashion Waste initiative.

We are looking for passionate individuals to help us reach out to individuals and businesses to effect change in the way Edmontonians approach waste.
