In 2004, nearly all of the material taken to the Whitehorse Recycling and Waste Centre was sent to the landfill with only glass, cardboard, and metal being recycled. Committed to reducing the amount of material going into the landfill, the City of Whitehorse invested in new programs for pricing, public education, and materials recycling. 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Identify how the City of Whitehorse managed the sensitivity of abutting land uses at their Recycling and Waste Centre.

2.     Review the details of the actions the City of Whitehorse took to increase recycling and reduce the amount of material going to the landfill.

3.     Examine potential options available to increase recycling including new price structures for depositing material at the landfill and public education program.
