Business owners are being reminded the deadline for the annual waste diversion report is just around the corner.
The mandatory report can be submitted online and according to city officials will take roughly five minutes to complete. All organizations including business levels of any size, and for-profit or charities need to submit their 2024 report by January 31st of 2025. Home-based businesses are not required to file a report as they follow residential waste, recycling and organics rules.
According to a release from the City of Lethbridge, “Historically, the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional sector has represented nearly two-thirds of all landfilled waste in Lethbridge each year. Mandatory reporting for businesses exists as part of the City’s Waste Management Master Plan, which aims to increase the landfill diversion rate and reduce business waste.”
