Education is important for several reasons including:

  • Increase in public awareness and knowledge of the consequences of waste;
  • Equips individuals with skills to identify and resolve issues relating to waste; and
  • Encourages participation in outreach activities such as community litter clean ups.

There are many initiatives, events, workshops, and programs that the province, municipalities and organizations hold to educate and engage individuals regarding waste management.
