BANFF BUSINESSES CAN ELIMINATE LANDFILL GARBAGE BY 2050

The Town of Banff launched the Zero Waste Trail program in 2019 to help restaurants, hotels and other organizations reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. At least 65% of Banff’s waste going to landfill comes from the commercial sector, and almost 50% of that waste is food. Another 15% of commercial waste going to landfill is recyclable.

Get your business onto the Zero Waste Trail and help maintain the long-term
well-being and sustainability of Banff.

Reducing and diverting Banff commercial waste going to landfill is a community goal and a business goal that pays dividends for future generations.
