To be completed – Introduction from Graham and Suzette Summary This Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) has been prepared to meet the requirements of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 which encourages waste minimisation and a decrease in waste disposal in order to: (a) Protect the environment from harm; and (b) Provide environmental, social, economic and cultural benefits. The WMMP seeks to provide direction for solid waste within the Mackenzie District. The vision of this plan is for “a future of minimised waste in the Mackenzie”. This vision is supported by a set of goals and objectives that flow through to a set of actions to be undertaken over the six year term of the plan. Our goals and objectives are set out below: Goal 1: Minimise waste to landfill and maximise diversion of waste Objectives Continue to develop education programmes and incentives to encourage our communities to minimise waste; Continue to investigate new recycling and waste diversion opportunities; Continue to provide recycling opportunities to residents and the public and improve existing services where possible; and Support lobbying for increased producer responsibility for the end of life of products. Goal 2: Gather waste data to develop plans and policy direction Objectives Improve data collection; and Monitor and review Solid Waste Bylaw. Goal 3: Protect our district and the environment from harmful effects of waste Objective Provide effective and efficient waste services to our communities, including urban residents, rural areas, businesses and travellers. We recognise that waste issues are continually evolving and our action plan has been developed to reflect this by enabling us to adapt and take advantages of waste minimisation opportunities as they arise. Our communities also continue to change and our action plan will allow us to respond to new demands to provide suitable services and facilities. How we deal with waste will shape the future for generations to come, this plan seeks to improve our current waste situation and ensure that this future will be positive, and waste will be minimised.
