Eastern Region Solid Waste Management was established in 1996 as a committee with a representative from each of the five municipal councils in Antigonish and Guysborough counties. The Eastern Region, along with six other solid waste-resource regions, was formed by the Province of Nova Scotia to help Nova Scotians reach waste diversion mandates required through provincial regulation.
To inspire waste diversion the Province of Nova Scotia legislated a waste disposal target of 300kg/capita/year. This target includes all waste disposed from residents, businesses and as a result of construction and demolition activities. The target requires an approximate decrease in the amount of waste disposed by 95 kg/person/year. We can achieve this goal with the continued support of all Nova Scotians at home, work and play.
The mission of the Eastern Region Solid Waste Management Committee is to work cooperatively with our municipal partners, the government of Nova Scotia, Divert NS, and other related organizations towards achieving provincial disposal goals and other responsibilities stated in the Environment Act and Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperities Act as they relate to solid waste-resource management in a manner that is responsible to the municipal tax payer.
There are five municipal Councillors on the Committee, one from each municipality in Antigonish and Guysborough counties.
