The average household in Campbell River produces 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of garbage each month. By finding ways to lower this number we can reduce our environmental impact and stretch the life of our over-burdened landfill.

Reducing consumption is the most effective measure anyone can take. We can also green Campbell River by diverting waste into the recycling stream, composting and finding ways to reuse items. In 2009, 38 per cent of waste was diverted through the multi-material drop-off recycling bins, curbside recycling and spring/fall yard waste collection programs available to all households. This is a great start, but with all of our efforts we can do even better!
