COMPOSTING
As we are targeting to become Canada’s 1st Zero Waste First Nation, our landfill is currently composed of 40% of organic waste that could be diverted to a compositing platform and become organic material to close gravel pits and help our forest to growth. The Cree Nation of Wemindji is thus currently working on the development of a new composting collection program to be launched in summer 2022!
The future curbside collection will welcome:
Food Waste
- Table scraps
- Hunted animal carcasses
- Fished seafood and fishes
- Meat and poultry (including bones)
