The Winter Road Recycling Project has completed another successful season.
The project works with participating First Nations to overcome the substantial costs and complexity of transporting materials out of their communities via Manitoba’s winter roads. MMSM’s role is to coordinate and fund the transportation of household recycling.
This season, the project recovered 21,656 kg of blue bin recyclables from:
• Manto Sipi Cree Nation
• Bunibonibee Cree Nation
• God’s Lake First Nation
• Northlands Denesuline First Nation
• Sayisi Dene First Nation
• Wasagamack First Nation
Several organizations work with the annual project, which also recovers used oil, tires, batteries, electronics, and more.
It takes the collective efforts of First Nations, Green Action Centre, MMSM, and other project partners. By working together, we are making waste diversion more accessible in the North.
