Land is preserved by
extending the life of existing landfill sites. By increasing the volumes
of recyclables, we decrease the volumes of garbage dumped at local
landfill sites. When less land is used and polluted by landfill sites,
more land is safely available for recreation, residential homes,
business operations, and civic and community services.
The Sea
to Sky Corridor has 2 landfills - Squamish & Whistler. There
is a public transfer station in Pemberton & Devine.
