Description
Grants of up to $25,000 are now available to support innovative community-based efforts to reduce residential waste and increase participation in the City of Toronto’s waste diversion programs. A priority will be placed on investing in actions that address multi-residential buildings, multi-lingual communities, equity-seeking groups and Neighbourhood Improvement Areas.- The grants support the City’s Long Term Waste Management Strategy and reflect its guiding principles: working with community partners to enhance access to waste diversion programs; increasing public engagement; and working together to deliver services.
- The strategy puts priority on reducing and encouraging the prevention of waste, maximizing its value before disposal, and supporting the move towards a circular economy. Waste diversion, which minimizes the amount of waste sent to landfill, follows reduction and reuse in order of priority.
