2023 Waste Composition Study

The 2023 Solid Waste Composition Study shows that the waste disposed at Sechelt Landfill contain 23% organics, 22% recyclables and 1% other materials such as electronics or batteries (fire hazard!). This means 46% of waste taking up space in our landfill could have been recycled or processed into compost. The study results help inform the effectiveness of current waste diversion programs and opportunities for further improvement.
