Waste management and reduction

You are here

Whistler has a mission to achieve zero waste.

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.
