Circular Economy

The City’s Long Term Waste Management Strategy (Waste Strategy) envisions a zero waste future and includes recommendations about how to get there. Today, the City is delivering on a number of those recommendations through the implementation of various new programs that support waste reduction, reuse and the move towards a circular economy.

Community Reduce & Reuse Programs

Many items that can be reused are thrown out every day. To help foster a culture of waste reduction, sharing, repairing and reusing, the City is working with local agencies and non-profit organizations to deliver Community Reduce & Reuse Programs. Visit the Events calendar to register for one of the following five programs. 

  • Urban Harvest
  • Sewing Repair Hubs
  • Bicycle Repair Hubs
  • Community Composting
  • Sharing and Reuse Spaces
