Solid Waste-Resource Management
Nova Scotia is too good to waste. Through our comprehensive provincial waste management strategy, we are utilizing regulation in combination with public outreach, education, and engagement, to waste less, recycle more, and reap significant environmental, economic and social benefits. By essentially turning waste from an unpleasant byproduct of modern living into an exploitable resource, our waste management approach is positioning Nova Scotia among world leaders in environmental stewardship.
The Waste Resource Management branch includes all staff from the Solid Waste-Resource Program, the Nova Scotia Youth Conservation Corps and the Environmental Education Programs. WRM is responsible for a number of initiatives including recycling, composting, disposal, and the Nova Scotia Solid Waste Strategy.
