Nova Scotia is too good to waste. Through the comprehensive provincial waste management strategy, the province is utilizing regulation in combination with public outreach, education and engagement to waste less, recycle more and reap significant environmental, economic and social benefits. By essentially turning waste from an unpleasant byproduct of modern living into an exploitable resource, the government’s waste management approach is positioning Nova Scotia among world leaders in environmental stewardship.

The Solid Waste Resource Management Section is responsible for a number of initiatives including recycling, composting, disposal and the Nova Scotia Solid Waste Strategy.
