Let's Talk Trash - Waste Plan Regina

Waste Plan Regina started in the spring of 2008 to review garbage and recycling services. The review was initiated due to increased public interest to reduce waste and the City’s unprecedented rate of growth. These factors, along with others, created the need to develop a new plan to provide continued guidance for the growth of the City’s recycling, garbage and waste services.

The City began a review of industry best practices and consulted stakeholder groups and the community. An extensive list of options was compiled and three service options were developed (Current Plus, Enhanced and Comprehensive). Further consultations on the three options revealed the majority of respondents preferred the enhanced option.

City Council approved adopting the enhanced option at their meeting on March 22, 2010. The Administration will bring back a report towards the end of 2010 with more details on an implementation plan.
