Waste Diversion

OUR MISSION

Our Waste Diversion Program works to divert as many materials away from our landfill as possible.

The main purpose of waste diversion is to reduce the environmental impact of large community events. We want to keep all of the fun and the sense of community - but eliminate all the waste and promote sustainable waste-sorting practices!

​

The Halton Environmental Network will help at your event by sorting waste into compost, recycling, and garbage while educating event-goers on sustainable practices. We will also help to ensure that the event spaces stay clean and waste-free.

THE BENEFITS

  • Minimizing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and pollution associated with these disposal methods

  • Conserving natural resources by reusing and recycling materials, which lessens the need for extracting raw materials from the Earth.

  • Reducing energy consumption, as recycling and reprocessing materials often require less energy than producing new items from scratch.

  • Lowering pollution by decreasing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, this will prevent harmful substances from leaching into soil and water.

 

 

Waste diversion is a critical component of environmental stewardship, conserving resources, and building a healthier & more sustainable future for all living beings. Its positive impact on the planet and its inhabitants makes it an essential aspect of our collective efforts to protect and preserve our environment.

As a community, we have the responsibility to honour, care for and respect all the Creation gives to provide us with life. This includes the land, water, air, fire, animals, plants and our ancestors. The Anishinabek Peoples have utilized this land for millennia and we would like to acknowledge their direct descendants, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, as the rightful caretakers and titleholders of this land upon which we live, work and conduct ourselves. We acknowledge our treaty relationship and responsibilities to both the land and these original peoples. We also recognize that this land is rich in pre-contact history and customs, which includes the Anishinabek and Haudenosaunee and since European contact, has and continues to become home for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. And it is in the spirit and intent of the Dish With One Spoon, wampum agreement whereby we will collectively care for and respect the land, water, animals and each other in the interests of peace and friendship and for the benefit of not only ourselves but of our future descendants.  
The HEN Office resides on Treaty 22, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
