Help Us Create Edmonton's Waste Reduction Roadmap

Review Roadmap '30's proposed actions and help shape the future of Edmonton waste reduction. Share your thoughts, make suggestions, and have your say!

What we waste shapes our future. Let's work together to reduce it and shape something better!

The City of Edmonton is currently developing Roadmap ‘30, the second Waste Reduction Roadmap to support the commitments of the 25-year Waste Strategy.

Roadmap '30 will guide our actions to reduce waste from 2026 to 2030. It includes ideas to help reduce food waste, make it easier to reuse and donate items, and reduce waste at events and other everyday places.

Roadmap ‘30 will also consist of actions that meet the top three levels (rethink/redesign, reduce, and reuse) of Edmonton’s waste hierarchy.

We’ve created a list of actions based on expert recommendations, research, and proven successes from other cities. Now, we want your input.

  • Are these actions helpful? What would you change? Which would you prefer to see?
  • Your input will help us decide which actions are ready to move forward to shape waste reduction until 2030

You can review the actions and share your thoughts below. Or take our survey here!
