Wexford businesses Reduces Waste

Scarborough Zero waste is committed to reduce waste in its local community. This is why we have joined the Canada Reduces Waste movement.

In the summer of 2023, SZW has worked with the Green Neighborhood Network, the UofT Trash Team and the Toronto Environmental Alliance to better understand the readiness of businesses towards reusable containers. You can find more information here (and the map here).

Moving towards a lower waste lifestyle is not easy and needs to be somewhat convinient. Swapping form one item to another is easier when it is available in our neighbourhood.

The idea behind the Toronto zero waste map is to bridge the gap between the traditional swapping list we generally find online and the actual locations where one can find the items he or she needs to move towards a more low waste lifestyle (please access our swapping library here). Hopefully, not too far from they beloved home. The goal is to find the soft spot between convenience and meaningful drive. This friction is where change happens.
