A 2019 waste audit revealed that 61% (by weight) of the "waste" generated in Rocky Mountain House is organic material that can be composted. Collecting these materials separately will greatly reduce the tonnage of waste going to the landfill and produce a valuable soil amendment. Choosing to divert organics and recyclables from the landfill is a better choice for you, your wallet and the planet.
