Waste Reduction Week Manitoba

October 17-23, 2022

What is Waste Reduction Week? 

Green Action Centre is excited to present Waste Reduction Week in a Manitoba context, which is now part of Circular Economy Month!

Throughout the week of October 17-23, we will be highlighting the impacts waste has in our world, celebrating those who are working hard to reduce their waste, and providing practical solutions to help Manitobans reduce their waste.

Follow along on social media and our blog for resources and tips about reducing e-waste, textile waste, plastic waste, and food waste.

Join the Conversation on Social Media 

Support Circular Economy Month & Waste Reduction Week through social media year round using the official program hashtags #CircularEconomyMonth & #WasteReductionWeek.
