ADVISORIES

Waste disposal during COVID-19Waste disposal during COVID-19– Disposing of waste responsibly is as important now as always. Waste facilities are open and modifications have been made to ensure the safety of community members and facility staff.

As a community with strong sustainability goals, local organizations and the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) have been working together to improve the ways in which waste material is managed. In 2017, the RMOW Solid Waste Bylaw came into effect, requiring all properties to separate recyclable and organic material from garbage to landfill.
