Recycling and Waste
Nova Scotia is too good to waste. With regulations and a provincial strategy for managing solid waste, we're wasting less, recycling more and reaping the environmental, economic and social benefits.
Waste-Resource Management Branch is responsible for a number of initiatives including recycling, composting, disposal, and the Nova Scotia Solid Waste Strategy.

Every year, RRFB (The Resource Recovery Fund Board) recognizes innovative organizations and individuals who have made Nova Scotia a leader in waste reduction. There are several different categories.
