Nanaimo aiming for Zero Waste at Hometown Hockey
NANAIMO — Normally an event the size of Hometown Hockey leaves between five and seven tonnes of waste behind.
But in Nanaimo, they’re hoping to significantly reduce the number.
According to Charlotte Davis, manager of sanitation, recycling and public works with the City of Nanaimo, they’ll replace the 30 litter bins in Maffeo Sutton Park with three zero waste sites over the weekend.
“It’s a real world-class event and we decided that requires world-class waste sorting too,” she said.
