The Regional District of Nanaimo has a goal to divert 90% of our solid waste from landfill. As a step to achieving that goal, this bylaw requires all businesses, institutions, and multi-family dwellings to have separate waste bins for garbage, recycling, and organics. Separate bins help to maximize recycling, repurposing, reusing, and composting, so that we can minimize the filling of our landfill, and the methane greenhouse gases that are produced by landfills.
