The Nunatsiavut Government Infrastructure Division and the Inuit Community Governments along with Dillon Consulting Limited is creating an Interim Waste Management Action Plan, an Operational Plan, and Concept Designs specifically for the needs of Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, Postville, and Rigolet.
This project is about waste management in our communities. Waste management is the process of collecting, transporting, processing, recycling, and/or disposing of waste materials in a safe and efficient manner. We will look at new information and listen to what residents have to say to come up with the plan. During community engagement sessions we will talk about:
How garbage is collected and disposed
Recycling and composting opportunities
How to manage household hazardous wastes
How to communicate waste management programs
Our project will update a study from 2017 by collecting new best practices and current information, along with the opinions of residents and community representatives. The goal is to provide both immediate and long term recommendations to improve current waste management infrastructure and operations in these areas. The results will be part of a larger plan called Pingutitsinik Nunatsiavut: Create Nunatsiavut Infrastructure Strategy.
Your feedback is important to us. Take the survey below to have your say.
