WASTE NOT, WANT NOT
The City of Chilliwack is dedicated to providing waste reduction programs that will lead the community to a sustainable future. Waste reduction and litter prevention are both areas where individual actions can add up to make a big difference. By adopting the six R's: RETHINK, REFUSE, REDUCE, REUSE, REPAIR & RECYCLE, and putting litter in its place, we can all work together to keep our municipality and the environment we live in beautiful and healthy.
