LETHBRIDGE, AB– The city has announced that from July 13 to August 14, Lethbridge residents, institutions, businesses, and industry groups will have a chance to share their ideas on how waste is handled in the community.

This initiative stems from the “Let’s talk trash” community engagement program in an attempt to ensure everyone has a voice in the creation of a new Waste Management Master Plan.

87 per cent of Lethbridge residents told the city it’s important to reduce the amount of food and yard waste that goes to landfills.

The city gave its statistics on the waste program over the last little while:

“Each year, Lethbridge produces an average of 989 kilograms of trash. This includes both residents and the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI)/Construction and Demolition (CD) sectors. While those levels are slightly under the Alberta average of 1,034 kilograms/year, they are well above the Canadian average of 710 kilograms/year.”
